The Times Leader is reporting that Luzerne County prosecutors say they have 385 “prospective witnesses” they might call to rebut the possible alibi defense of homicide suspect Joseph Kerekes.
The prosecutors made the revelation in court papers filed Monday in response to Kerekes' alibi claim.
Last month, Kerekes’ attorneys filed a notice indicating Kerekes might call five witnesses to show Kerekes was at a Plains Township motel at the time Bryan Kocis was being killed miles away inside his Dallas Township home.
