Suspect’s jailhouse poem will be evidence in upcoming trial
CHICAGO (MCT) — The Will County, Ill., jury in the upcoming trial of Christopher Vaughn will hear evidence about a coded poem he wrote while jailed in the murders of his wife and three children that referred to a stripper with whom Vaughn allegedly wanted to start a new life.
Attorneys for Vaughn said Wednesday they do not object to prosecutors calling an FBI agent who decoded the poem, which was part of a 37-page scribbled diary seized by authorities at the Will County Jail in October 2007, a few months after Vaughn’s arrest in the slayings.
