Derrick Thompson trial: Prosecutor says victims 'never stood a chance'
Prosecutor Joseph Paquette in his opening statements said Derrick Thompson killed the five women by taking a 6,000 pound Escalade and driving at 'extreme speeds,' swerving, going close to 100 mph in a 20-mph zone, before he hit the vehicle and killed the five women in a Honda Civic. "They never stood a chance," Paquette said, noting it wasn't a crash, "it was an explosion."
