Testimony Continues In Fishler Murder Trial

The second day of testimony is underway in a trial of a man accused of killing a woman in Dubuque. 61 year old Mark Fishler of Dubuque is charged in Iowa District Court of Dubuque County with first-degree murder in connection with the death of 80 year old Berniece  Williamson of Dubuque in July 2021. The state called Wes Merfeld from Key City Recycling as a witness. Merfeld said he saw Fishler discard his shows at the recycling center on July 14, 2021. He said it was odd and that Fishler seemed “fidgety and awkward” the day he left his shoes behind. Reports say the shoes were found to have red droplets, consistent with blood on them.
