Calaney Flowers Takes the Stand in Murder Trial

Calaney Flowers

Bank teller Calaney Flowers is on trial for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, twenty-nine-year-old Lyndon Morrison, who met his untimely death on August twenty-eighth, 2012.  Flowers is accused of killing him after she ran into the back of his motorcycle causing him to collide into a parked pick-up truck.  Flowers is also on trial for the attempted murder of Sochil Sosa, Morrison’s girlfriend who was on the cycle with him at the time. Today, Flowers took the stand telling that court that on the night of the incident, she had a conversation with Morrison at a Chinese shop to remind him of money she needed for their four-year old son. She said she drove up Mahogany Street, then into Central American Boulevard and over the BelCan Bridge.  She claims that everything happened fast on Freetown Road when Morrison zoomed in front of her and that the next thing she knew, there was a crash and the cycle was on the street.  She was terrified and then went to his parents’ house to say that Morrison was in an accident, but she never told his mother that he was flaunting any girl in her face as she had testified. Flowers told the court that she had no reason to hurt the father of her son and did not want to break the bond between them. Flowers also said she did not tell the police she was involved in Morrison’s murder. Emotionally, Flowers said she has played the incident over in her mind and she did not hit Morrison’s cycle. Sosa has told the court, however, that Flowers was on their trail until they got to Freetown Road where they were hit off the motorcycle. On Monday, Judge Troadio Gonzalez, who is presiding over trial, ruled that Flowers has a case to answer as it relates to both charges.
