Deputy District Attorney David Pedri and Assistant District Attorney Albert Yacoub also called Hazleton police detective Gino Fedullo to the stand, as well as a state police corporal who testified he found blood in Cangiano's vehicle.
Prosecutors completed calling witnesses, and attorneys for Daniel Pinkney and Kevin Fisher called Fedullo back to the stand on their clients behalf.
