Prosecutors today continue to call witnesses in the murder trial of Darlene George of Old Orchard Beach, and her brother Jeffrey Williams of New York. The trial opened Monday at York County Superior Court.

George and Williams are accused of plotting and carrying out the June 20, 2008, killing of George’s husband, 44-year-old Winston George.

Prosecutors claim Darlene George recruited Williams and her longtime boyfriend, Rennie Cassimy, to kill her husband during an elaborately staged home invasion.

Maine State Police Detective Angela Blodgett testified that police found several documents related to Rennie Cassimy, including his birth certificate from his native country, Trinidad and Tobago, in Darlene George’s Chevrolet Blazer. Cassimy has already pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit murder, and he is expected to testify Thursday against George and Williams.
