Defense concedes Springfield teacher's aide raped, murdered, kidnapped 10-year-old girl

The first degree murder trial of Craig Michael Wood for the February 18, 2014, murder of 10-year-old Hailey Owens of Springfield, will enter its third day Wednesday. I wrote about it in my latest article for the Inquistr, but under my contract, I am only allowed to use a small sample from the article on the Turner Report. The complete article can be found at this link.

The article begins in the following fashion.

High on a combination of meth and alcohol, Craig Michael Wood, a coach and teacher’s aide at a Springfield, Missouri middle school, kidnapped, raped and murdered a 10-year-old girl, then stuffed her remains in a trash bag.

The remainder of the article, including two details from the first two days, including evidence that was collected against Wood and the emotional testimony of Hailey Owens' mother can be found at the Inquisitr article.
