Cory Redwine testified Thursday that he still loves his father, Mark Redwine, despite disillusionment with him since the death of Cory\u2019s younger brother, Dylan.<\/p>\n

The disillusionment \u2013 beginning with Dylan\u2019s 2011 discovery of sordid photos of their father \u2013 was only compounded by Cory\u2019s belief that his brother died at the hands of their father.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish we were here under different circumstances. I still love him. I wish I didn\u2019t have to be here,\u201d Cory said.<\/p>\n

Cory Redwine, 29, was called to the stand by the prosecution in the trial of Mark Redwine, who is charged with second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in the death of 13-year-old Dylan during a court-ordered parental custodial visit during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2012.<\/p>\n

The first of the boy\u2019s remains were found in June 2013.<\/p>\n

Redwine has pleaded not guilty, saying he left his house to run errands on Nov. 19, 2012, and returned to find Dylan missing. Prosecutors allege Redwine killed his son on the night of Nov. 18, 2012.<\/p>\n

On cross-examination from defense attorney John Moran, Cory Redwine revealed that he texted the sordid photos Dylan had discovered to Mark Redwine.<\/p>\n

The photos showed Mark Redwine dressed in women\u2019s underwear and a diaper, eating feces from a diaper.<\/p>\n

Cory Redwine said he texted the photos during a dispute with his father, who was upset that Cory had left liquor bottles at Mark Redwine\u2019s property while Cory was staying there with his girlfriend. Mark Redwine sent photos of the liquor bottles to Cory, and in response, Cory Redwine texted the sordid photos to his father.<\/p>\n

In text messages accompanying the photos, Cory wrote to his father: \u201cI\u2019ve got some pictures, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

He followed up with further angry texts to Mark Redwine, including: \u201cHey beautiful, You are what you eat, look in the mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cory Redwine also discussed meeting Mark Redwine in December 2012 at the Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio to discuss the search for then-still-missing Dylan.<\/p>\n

Cory said he told his father that he suspected him of killing Dylan.<\/p>\n

Another witness, Kathi Barry, heard about the case on Facebook and joined the search effort. She testified Thursday about a confrontation with Mark Redwine at his Vallecito home shortly after Dylan\u2019s remains were found in June 2013, according to The Denver Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Barry said she and another woman, Denise Hess, drove to Redwine\u2019s house to confront him about a text he sent to his ex-wife, Elaine Hall, concerning Hess, who was suffering from colon cancer, a disease from which she would later die.<\/p>\n

Redwine had texted he hoped Hess would die from cancer.<\/p>\n

Barry and Hess found Mark Redwine standing in the door of his Vallecito House, according to The Denver Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hess began shouting at Mark Redwine from the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Barry testified she lost her composure when Redwine shouted at Hess that he hoped she would die from cancer.<\/p>\n

Barry took her seat belt off, jumped over Hess in the passenger seat, and was closest to Redwine, and shouted at him: \u201c(expletive)-eating (expletive),\u201d according to The Denver Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

Barry testified that Mark Redwine then picked up a log and lifted it as if he might hit the vehicle or the women who were in it.<\/p>\n

She yelled another vulgarity at Mark Redwine, before speeding away, she testified.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amber Harrison, who was Elaine Hall\u2019s divorce and custody attorney and who later befriended Hall, also testified.<\/p>\n

Through tears, Harrison recounted the legal advice she gave Dylan\u2019s mother after Hall asked if there were any other options besides sending Dylan to stay with his father as part of a court-ordered custodial visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told her she had to put Dylan on the plane or she would be charged with contempt of court,\u201d Harrison said after taking several seconds to regain her composure.<\/p>\n

Harrison interviewed Dylan before he gave private testimony to then 6th Judicial District Judge David Dickinson, the judge in the August and September 2012 custody hearing.<\/p>\n

Harrison said Dylan wanted to live with his mother, and she advised him to be honest in conveying his views to the judge, and she assured Dylan that Dickinson was someone he could trust.<\/p>\n

Dylan told Harrison the sordid pictures of his dad \u201ccreeped him out\u201d and he didn\u2019t want to be around his father.<\/p>\n
