Summary:May 18--It was a sordid killing of a single mother, an intelligent woman with master's degree in metallurgy, a gift for gourmet cooking and a turbulent relationship with her 14-year-old daughter. Colver, nicknamed "Boston," Tuesday looked on in a black suit and wire-rimmed glasses in the Placerville courtroom as Suder said he entered the room alone, slashing 47-year-old Joanne Witt even as she woke and fought back, shouting her last words: "No, Boston, No!" Dain Weiner, Colver's attorney, said it was Tylar Witt who killed her mother.
