WILLIAMSPORT - The prosecution rested its case Thursday in the trial for Donald Meyer Jr., 60, who faces charges that include criminal homicide in the death of his 12-year-old daughter, Ciara Meyer.

The morning testimony in Lycoming County Court included a comment that Meyer made to investigators after his daughter was fatally shot in the doorway to an apartment in Perry County on Jan. 11, 2016.

"My poor baby. I'm glad she's gone," he said. "She doesn't have to worry about the robberies and the poison in the water."

It was one of the stipulated facts read into the record Thursday by Perry County District Attorney Andrew Bender after the prosecution rested.

During the morning session of the trial, jurors saw a cell phone video of the actual shooting. It showed Constable Clark Steele pulling his gun from a holster and firing a shot that wounded Meyer in the arm, killing his daughter.

Meyer has maintained he did not point the rifle at Steele, but the video shows him holding the weapon chest high.

Steele went to the apartment in Penn Twp. on that frigid January day to evict Meyer, his wife and daughter.

Ciara is seen with a hand on Meyer's arm, and state police Cpl.

Steven Bradley testified it appears she was trying to hold her father back.

Besides the video, jurors also heard most of the more than hour-long interview of Meyer by state police at the Hershey Medical Center where the girl was taken.

"I didn't expect him to shoot me," Meyer is heard saying. He had the weapon with him when he opened the door, he said, because he did not know who was out there and he was concerned it might be a home invasion.

Meyer claimed Steele said: "Hey. Time's up, let's go." He raised his rifle slightly and he was then shot, he said.

On the audio tape Meyer tells investigators he was cleaning his rifle, but troopers testified they found no evidence of this.

Trooper James R. Fisher, one of those who interviewed Meyer at the hospital, testified he was calm, cooperative and showed little emotion but added he had not been told his daughter had died.

After lunch, there was speculation that Meyer might testify during the afternoon session.
