ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Additional witnesses took the stand Tuesday as the John Jonchuck murder trial continues, and jurors saw video that was taken after Jonchuck's arrest. 

Jonchuck is charged in the 2015 death of his daughter, Phoebe.  His trial started Monday.

Several officers who were involved in Jonchuck's arrest took the stand on Tuesday, as Jonchuck sat emotionless. His mother, and Phoebe's grandmother, also took the stand.

Officer Matthew Laliberte says Jonchuck ignored commands after his vehicle was stopped during the 2015 incident, instead staring ahead with his hands on the steering wheel. Jurors were also shown a Swedish Bible that Jonchuck had with him.

The mother, Michelle Jonchuck, started crying as soon as she took the stand.

A 2014 picture of Phoebe was shown to the jury. Michelle Jonchuck said Phoebe was afraid of the water and couldn't swim.

She testified that she spoke with her son about having Phoebe take swimming lessons, but that never happened, she said.

If he is found guilty, Jonchuck will spend the rest of his life in prison. Otherwise, he'll got to a mental institution and likely never be released. 

Jurors will continue to hear testimony as they try to decide whether Jonchuck was insane at the time of Phoebe Jonchuck's death. 

 

They heard from a key witness Monday as the police officer who witnessed the moment Phoebe was thrown from the Dick Misner Bridge. 

"The driver emerged from the vehicle holding a small child who appeared to be asleep at the time," said Officer William Vickers with the St. Petersburg Police. "And turned and let the child go over the side of the bridge." 

Another witness, a toll booth operator, testified Monday about seeing Jonchuck speeding. 

Jonchuck is accused of dropping his daughter, Phoebe, to her death off the approach to the Skyway Bridge in January 2015. He has been charged with first-degree murder. 

His murder trial had been delayed in the past because he was found to be mentally incompetent. He has spent the last four years in a state hospital. 

Defense attorneys continue to argue that Jonchuck was insane at the time and that voices urged him to kill his daughter.
