Jurors will hear from witnesses and a medical examiner today in the trial of a man accused of killing two women and an unborn baby.
Yesterday, the suspect's mother took the stand saying 911 operators did not answer her call for help.
Prosecutors say elder Dennis Potlow had been fighting with his pregnant girlfriend in April 2007 when she jumped in a car with his mother.
They say Potlow chased after them in another car and rammed it until they crashed in Greenville county.
Elizabeth Burdine is Potlow's mother. She continued to tell the jury that she never saw her son with a gun but others in her car did.
Investigators estimated her car was going 75 mph when it crashed.
