Orlando, FL: Former teacher Delores Laster heads to trial for husband's 1988 murder

ORLANDO --
The trial for a former elementary school teacher accused of killing her husband more than 20 years ago starts Monday.

Delores Laster was not arrested until two decades after her husband, Clarence, was found shot in the head.

After Clarence's death, Delores went on to live her life as a teacher in Winter Garden. She was arrested in 2009 on her way to work.

Orange County deputies said they determined Delores Laster was the one who shot her husband, and even had her children help her move his body to the garage, where investigators eventually found him.

But detectives said Clarence Laster's blood was splattered around the couple's master bedroom, not in the garage.

Three children were home at the time: A 12-year-old, a 10-year-old and an infant. Now adults, the two older children are expected to testify with their accounts on what happened on that day, over 20 years ago.
