Yuma, AZ- It's the 12th day of trial and Lawrence Douglas took the stand. He testified his Ex wife is related to Preston Strong's former girl friend Adriana Ozuna.
He said he knew of Strong for several years and he shared details of an incident that took place at a quinceanera in the summer of 2007.
Throughout the trial the prosecution has been alleging strong had dual motives for killing, jealously and greed.
While the defense has been trying to prove Dr. Satinder Gill wasn't on Strong's radar.
Douglas recalls attending the quinceanera with his wife it was a family party held at the Civic Center in Yuma.
He testified he briefly spoke to strong because they were sitting at the same table before his ex wife made a comment that he claims strong got upset about.
"Yea, she said something about how a cousin was trying to hook Adriana up with the Doctor," says Douglas.
Douglas testified that Strong was highly upset and stormed out to the parking lot.
He said Strong was almost in tears and told him how he thought the comment was 'messed up and how he couldn't believe someone would say something like that'.
Douglas also testified he saw Dr. Satinder Gill at the party.
Ozuna and three of her sisters all worked at the desert heart vascular center with Dr. Gill.
