About the Case:
Las Vegas woman Devyn Michaels is charged with second-degree murder in the death and decapitation of her boyfriend, 46-year-old Jonathon Willette. Prosecutors allege Michaels struck Willette, attempted to clean the scene, and hid key evidence before leaving the home. The defense argues she is innocent and that Willette’s son—and Michaels’ husband—Deviere Willette—is the true killer.

Day 6 in Court:
• Recall of Crime Scene Analyst Nicole Mariam: Returned briefly to clarify earlier testimony regarding items collected from both residences, including electronics, personal effects, and the condition of the victim’s bedroom. Jurors reviewed additional photographs and documentation from her prior scene processing.
• Digital Forensics — Clinton Campbell: Provided extensive testimony spanning several hours, walking the jury through digital extraction reports, device-to-device communication patterns, and data recovered from phones, tablets, and computers associated with both Michaels and Willette. Campbell explained how investigators validated timestamps, verified device integrity, and reconstructed digital activity before and after the estimated time of death.
• Family Services Officials (Eason, Lizardo, Woods): Testified regarding custody matters, prior welfare checks, and the family’s history with Child Protective Services. Their testimony helped establish context for the children’s placement, the parents’ relationship dynamics, and prior concerns documented in agency records.
• Det. Douglas Lynaugh (Robbery/Homicide Unit): Discussed follow-up investigative steps, including interviews, surveillance collection, and coordination with forensic teams. Lynaugh helped summarize aspects of the investigative chronology and responded to questions regarding evidence handling and timelines.

This case is presided over by the Clark County District Court in Las Vegas, Nevada.
