A murder victim's father takes the stand in the trial of the man accused of killing her.

50-year-old Lawrence Stinnett could face the death penalty after the alleged kidnapping and slaying of Christina Renshaw in 2006.

On Wednesday morning, Commonwealth Attorney Chris Cohron called two men to testify, one who was one of the last to see Renshaw alive and the other, Renshaw's father, who was one of the last to hear Renshaw alive.

"I was pulling out when I turned my head back and saw a person raise their hand, and all of a sudden the door shut real fast," said Charles Churchwell, a former co-worker of Christina Renshaw.

Churchwell took the stand Wednesday afternoon. During testimony, he said he took Renshaw home from Yellow Cab, where the two worked together, on the night of her death.

"When we were going home, she was getting several calls wanting to know where she was at," Churchwell said.

Those calls were allegedly coming from Lawrence Stinnett, who Churchwell said during testimony had hit Renshaw before.

"I took Christina home one day, and as I pulled up, she got out and you (Stinnett) came out there and you smacked her and then accused me of being her boyfriend," Churchwell said.

An emotional testimony also came from Renshaw's father Wednesday.

"The phone rang, I saw it was Chris, I answered the phone," said Claude Lovan, the father of Christina Renshaw.

Lovan, who lives in Las Vegas, said his daughter called him during the alleged attack, where he said he listened to the beatings and screams coming from inside the apartment for nearly 20 minutes.

"Toward the end of the call, I heard my daughter's voice. The last thing I heard her say was, 'Lawrence, I don't know who that is. I don't know them. I wasn't with them. And the phone went dead."

Much of the afternoon, Bowling Green police officers, who have been active in the investigation took the stand.

At one point, audio recordings were released of six voicemails taken from Renshaw's phone that were of Stinnett calling her early February 3rd.

We couldn't find any piece of those recordings to release on-air due to expletives used by Stinnett, where he's heard accusing Renshaw of cheating and heard saying, "You're finished. You're finished."

As we've said before, in hearings leading up to the trial, Stinnett has often been reprimanded for speaking out of turn, and not respecting courtroom decorum.

The past two days, Stinnett has remained polite and has come dressed in a suit.

Stinnett is seen often turning to appointed counsel Vince Yustas for some guidance during the trial, but has so far continued to lead his defense.

The trial continues Thursday.
