Man Breaks Down During Testimony in Sister's Murder Trial
25 Aug
Summary
- Samuel Huggler faces charges in a murder-for-hire plot.
- His sister, Olivia Hugler, was killed in the incident.
- A 911 call identifying Huggler as responsible played in court.
Testimony is ongoing in the trial of Samuel Huggler, who is accused of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot that resulted in the death of his 18-year-old sister, Olivia Hugler, and injured two others. Huggler was initially arrested but charges were dismissed and refiled in 2024 after his extradition from Spain.
During court proceedings, the initial 911 call, made by a family member, was played. The caller identified Huggler as responsible for the crime, causing him to break down in tears. Huggler subsequently requested to be removed from the courtroom as the 911 call and body camera footage were presented.
Investigators stated that Huggler allegedly hired Daniel Alvey to carry out the shootings at a Kirkwood Drive residence. An interview with a detective was played, where Huggler denied any knowledge of why Alvey would harm his family. Alvey has accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty in 2023 to murder and attempted murder charges and is expected to testify.
