ALFRED — The jury in the murder trial of Patrick Dapolito today heard an audio recording of a police interview in which the defendant talked about how his wife may have been killed because of a dispute with his drug suppliers.

Dapolito, 41, is accused of fatally shooting 30-year-old Kelly Winslow in 2010. He initially told authorities that the gun in his hand accidentally fired while they were sleeping on the bathroom floor. He later introduced the theory that Winslow was the victim of a drug hit.

The prosecution also presented testimony from Winslow’s mother, a man who planned to rent the Limington home of Winslow and Dapolito and a state police trooper who analyzed calls and text messages from Dapolito’s cell phone.

The prosecution is expected to present evidence from the state police crime lab on Wednesday before resting.

The defense expects to call two of Dapolito’s daughters to the stand.
