Little Rock - A police technician says much of the evidence taken from the home of slain television anchorwoman Anne Pressly after her death last year was soaked with blood.

At the trial of Curtis Vance, who has pleaded not guilty in Pressly's death, technician Stuart Bartlett described for jurors bloody sheets and towels taken from Pressly's home after the Oct. 20, 2008, attack. He also mentioned a "possible tooth," plus hair and a bathrobe.

At times, he showed jurors photographs of the items.

Pressly was found near-death in her bed, and Bartlett said Thursday that blood spatters were above the bed's headboard and on the ceiling and nightstand.
