Sorry, this video is no longer available

It is day three of the Christopher Hampton trial.

The Fargo man is accused of murdering his roommate.

KVRR’s Brittany Ford was in the courtroom, and joins us with the controversy surrounding an alleged poisoned Gatorade bottle that Hampton says motivated the shooting.

Alison and TJ law enforcement and the investigation staff that responded to the crime scene took the stand this morning.

The defense focused on how the Gatorade bottle that Hampton claimed was poisoned by his cousin was never taken as evidence or sampled by police.
The prosecution took a deeper look into the crime scene investigation.

“You drank Gatorade on Monday and you think your cousin poisoned you? Yes. Because me and him have been really bad argument for the past month, month and a half. You want to show somebody? I said yeah I want to show somebody. Why would you pour that out man somebody poisoned my drink or something!”

On KVRR News at nine we will share more information on the alleged poisoned Gatorade bottle, and how police admitted that they failed to take the fire arms out of Hampton’s home per his request before the shooting even happened.
