Ex-girlfriend Jessie Harley testified that Prall told her “Cain killed Abel” and said he was going to kill his brother, John Prall. She also said she refused to take him to buy gasoline for a plastic gallon container he had.
City sanitation worker Paul Bethea testified that he had known the brothers for 10 years when, on the morning of Jan. 24, 2007, he spotted them from his trash rig arguing face to face outside the bank at East State and North Warren streets.

“It was serious. I started getting nosey and Tormu is like ‘Word is Bond,’”Betea said. “That means you got to get him before he gets you.”
