Brent Burke's defense to present case in court today

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The latest Brent Burke trial could take an important turn today.

Burke's defense is supposed to present its case.

The soldier is being tried for murder in a military trial at Fort Campbell.

His estranged wife, Tracey Burke, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, were found shot to death in Comer's Rineyville home in 2007.

Forensic experts say there is no DNA evidence linking Burke to the crime scene.

The Army charged Burke in the case after four mistrials in civilian court.
