On Trial

Prosecutor describes the killings

Matthew Geary, Richmond’s chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney, calmly approached the jury box to deliver the prosecution’s opening statement in the capital murder trial against Ricky Javon Gray, charged with committing one of the city’s most vicious mass murders in recent memory.
“This is the Harvey family,“ Geary said, placing a large rectangular photograph of Bryan Harvey, 49,  his wife, Kathryn, 39,  and daughters Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4,  on a tripod facing the jurors. It was the now familiar photograph of the smiling family taken by friends at a beach vacation.
Today it produced tears.
