WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- More State Police and Luzerne County 9-1-1 workers took the witness stand in Day 2 of the murder trial of a former Dallas Township police officer.

36-year-old Jeffrey Dennis is being tried for first degree murder in the shooting death of his wife Carli back in February of 2006. She was killed inside their Wyoming Borough home.

All along, the former Dallas Township police officer claims Carli killed herself. In court, one of Carli's former Luzerne County 9-1-1 co-workers testified Jeff gave Carli the choice to choose between him and her work by 11:00 in the morning the day she died. Adam Burke also admitted he had a sexual encounter with Carli in the past.

State Police Forensic Expert Trooper John Evans stated he found 95 particles of gun powder residue on Jeff's hands after the shooting - versus only 16 on Carli's hands. That Evans says is even after Jeff had washed up, but Trooper Evans also says he cannot confirm who fired the gun for sure - just that the couple was in close proximity.

Several of Carli's former co-workers took the stand including Jill Hudak. She like the others described a controlling, possessive Jeff Dennis, who Carli had planned to leave. She and another 9-1-1 employee including a supervisor stated Carli told them Jeff threatened to kill her and make it look like suicide.

Nobody denied Carli was having an extra-marital affair with another co-worker, Robert Bomboy. Another witness, former co-worker Robin Jensen, testified she agreed to buy three "adult items" for Carli to use with her lover on Valentine’s Day before she died. Witnesses say Jeff Dennis found out and was angry. Some witnesses even testified that Carli told them Jeff put a gun to her head in the past and bruised her.

Defense attorneys questioned some of these witnesses - being in the position they were in employed at the 9-1-1 center - why they did not call police or get Carli help if she was allegedly being abused at home.

The trial continues Thursday morning.
