I guess what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.



quote:

Chapman Fowler School of Law student Justin Medof, 31, has been arrested and charged with murder over the death of his girlfriend.
quote:

Medof allegedly dialed 911 and said he had awoken to find his girlfriend, 30-year-old Stephanie Duarte, “beaten, bloody and dead.”
quote:

The Clark County Coroner’s Office has yet to weigh in with the official cause of death but identified the victim by name last Thursday. Police say Duarte was dead “for a few hours prior” to the boyfriend’s 911 call.
quote:

According to an arrest report obtained by local Fox affiliate KVVU, Medof told police he woke up to find the hotel room “covered in blood” and claimed that he tried to wake Duarte up by giving her a bath.
quote:

Additional details in that report cited by KLAS suggest the defendant was covered in a variety of abrasion, scrapes and bruises–which would appear to be consistent with defensive wounds. Police claim to have observed “red marks” on Medof’s rib cage, back, shoulders and knees, according to that report. Lacerations were found on the defendant’s left bicep, left elbow, both knees and the top of his right foot.

I understand he had shown a recent interest in getting involved in Wicca or Tarot cards

A law student thought it would be a grand idea to talk openly to the cops? Sheesh

“You never take a police report at face value,” defense attorney Robert Draskovich told KLAS.


In this case I think you can-

quote:

According to time-stamped videos now in the possession of police, Medof arrived back at the hotel at 2:12 a.m. while Duarte arrived a brief while later at 2:25 a.m. The hotel’s night auditor also allegedly told police that Duarte checked in with him when she arrived to ask if anyone left any messages or if Medof had asked about her.

Homicide detectives believe the door to room 421 was last opened at 2:32 a.m. before Duarte was killed sometime later that morning. Guests in a close by room told investigators they heard loud noises that sounded like a man and a woman arguing and things being moved.

Judging by his eyes he probably wasn't seeing things very clearly at the time.
