Zachary Latham and the Durham family clashed after a dispute escalated over his alleged speeding on the street they shared in a Vineland neighborhood.
A Cumberland County jury is now deliberating in the case of a man charged with stabbing his neighbor to death after a weeks-long feud ended in a bloody brawl.in the May 4, 2020, killing of William T. Durham Sr., 51, a state corrections officer.
Representatives for the Durham family previously claimed Latham lured the victim into the fatal fightOn Tuesday, the jury was shown video of an interview investigators conducted with Latham a day after the killing, in which he offered conflicting accounts of what happened a day earlier and appeared shocked after learning Durham died of his injuries.
Under a pre-trial ruling, attorneys were barred from telling the jury about interactions between Latham and the Durhams prior to the day of the killing. William T. Durham Sr., a correctional officer at South Woods State Prison, was stabbed to death in a fight with a neighbor.Another video taken by Sarah Latham and played several times during the trial showed sons William T. Durham Jr. and Gage Durham pull up to the Latham house on their bikes and their father arrive in his pickup truck. All three, who were unarmed, walked up the driveway to confront Latham, who had armed himself with a knife and stun gun.
After a lengthy interview, a detective informed Latham that he’d been charged with manslaughter and he appeared shocked to learn Durham Sr. was dead. “He was not the aggressor here. The Durhams clearly were,” she said, replaying videos of the two encounters between the families on May 4, 2020. She told jurors that no video had been presented showing her client allegedly swerving his vehicle toward Gage Durham that day because, Long argued, the incident never happened.
Latham was deceptive in his comments to investigators, repeatedly claiming falsely that part of the incident occurred in his kitchen, Wettstein said.in which he claimed 10 people had come onto his property with guns, the prosecutor said, and lied again when he claimed the Durhams threatened to kill him.
