Prosecutors plan to call a surprise witness in the trial of a man charged with killing a Monroe teenager.
In opening statements Friday, they said jurors would hear from a man who saw Phylicia Barnes' body on a bed in Michael Johnson's apartment the day she disappeared.
The defense dismissed that witness as a jailhouse snitch.
Johnson is charged with killing Barnes while she was visiting family in Baltimore. Her body was found months later in a river.
