Son who witnessed father's death testifies in Craigslist sale murder trial

James Beck, 44, and his 15-year-old son, Stuart thought they were going to sell a dirtbike they listed on Craigslist, back in January 2017. Instead, prosecutors say Dontae Johnson and Ramontrae Williams killed Beck in front of his son.
