The woman accused of running her husband over with her car and killing him spent her first day in court Monday.

In February, Laura Juarez called police saying she woke up and her husband Salvador Juarez wasn't breathing. The case quickly turned to a homicide investigation.

Juarez cried while the state played the 15-minute 911 call in which the dispatch coached her through giving her husband CPR and mouth-to-mouth. The state said she did not show emotion when her husband died. 

On the first day of trial, prosecutors tried to paint Juarez as emotionless and uncooperative with first responders, not showing grief of a sense of urgency.
One EMS responder said Juarez did not "respond in the normal way."

Defense attorneys Jaime Olivas and Greg Anderson countered the woman was simply in shock and painted her husband as a drunk who often couldn't make it to his own bed. The defense attorneys questioned the first responder's ability to judge displays of emotion and inconsistencies with their testimony and what they had written in their initial reports. 

First responders testified Juarez had marks on her face, and she told them she had gotten in a fight with her husband the night before, after a night of drinking had gotten physical, she said. Officers testified Juarez told them they had gotten into a fight because she had "caught her husband talking to one of her friends."

Juarez said her husband had wandered over to the front gate of their Lower Valley apartment, when she found him; she picked him up in her car, took him home and put him to bed. Officers said they overheard Juarez telling neighbors she had crashed into the front gate at their apartment with her car.

That's when officers checked Salvador's body and saw marks on his legs, shifting the investigation to a possible homicide. 

The first officer on the scene described the various emotions he saw Juarez display.

"When I asked her questions about him, she seemed upset, bothered I was asking her questions," Officer Raul Melendez said. "When I first saw her, she was touching his face, crying ... When she went out on the porch; she fell on her knees, crying."

Judge Gonzalo Garcia has issued a gag order in this case, which prevents attorneys and witnesses from speaking about the it.

The trial is expected to last until Thursday.
