OSWEGO, N.Y. -- Jurors hear a second day of testimony from emergency responders in the murder trial of Alan Jones. The Palermo man is on trial in Oswego for the death of his stepsister, 11-year-old Erin Maxwell. She was found unresponsive at the family's home last August and died the next day. The prosecution says Jones strangled Erin and then called 911.

Thursday, two medics and a volunteer firefighter took the stand. The firefighter was the one who transported Erin from her bedroom to the ambulance, performing CPR and advanced life support.

Jurors also saw the first images of the injuries to Erin's body. The defense showed pictures of the child taken during her autopsy, which showed ligature marks on her neck, along with black and blue marks and trauma to her lips. The defense questioned whether some of these injuries could have been caused during CPR.

Testimony continues Friday.
