She admitted she ordered the Uber for Crew. But, she testified that she had no idea what Crew did the night he was accused of murdering Spicuzza.

During Tuesday’s testimony, prosecutors played a video of county detectives questioning Crew about what happened to Spicuzza.

On camera, Crew repeatedly denies having anything to do with her death.

After an hour and 15 minutes of questioning, Crew tells the detectives: “I’m done with this interview.”

In the past, Crew has typically been quiet during his court appearances, but today he had several outbursts, and at one point said that he wants new counsel. We were also told he didn’t want to come into the courtroom.

Crew is accused of murdering Spicuzza is February 2022. Police say he tried to rob her, then drove her to the woods in Monroeville, shot her and left her there.

Her body was found days later.
