Ellen Wink’s murder trial continued for a third day Thursday with a focus on the gun and bullets used to kill her tenant. Jurors at Stamford Superior Court began the day by getting a look at the ammunition pulled from Kurt Lametta’s body during his autopsy.

Lt. Art Weisgerber, of the Norwalk Police Department, returned to the stand where he went through the photographs he took of the five bullets fired from Wink’s revolver on Jan. 20, 2022. The testimony came one day after the deputy chief medical examiner told the court Lametta was shot twice in the back, twice in the front of his body and once on the side. Wink, who was the city's Republican deputy registrat at the time, has admitted to pulling the trigger but denies it was murder.

On Thursday, the prosecution zeroed in on the type of ammunition Wink used—hollow point bullets. Weisgerber told the jury those do more damage than other ammunition recovered from Wink's home.

On cross examination, Wink's attorney pointed out the label on the box of that specific ammunition, which said “personal defense.”

“If somebody had a license to carry and wanted to defend themselves, wouldn't they use those bullets?” attorney Stephan Seeger asked, drawing a swift objection from the prosecution.

Seeger began laying the groundwork for a possible self-defense claim the day before. Jurors heard the over five-minute 911 call Wink made after the shooting. In the recording, Wink, who at times rambled incoherently, told the dispatcher Lametta came after her.

But the prosecution believes the shooting was the result of a contentious relationship between landlord and tenant. Lametta had allegedly stopped paying rent and Wink wanted him gone from her property at 16 Nelson Ave.

Another tenant at that address, Donald Sposta, testified Thursday that he saw and heard several arguments between Wink and Lametta, but nothing ever got physical.

Wink's boyfriend at the time, who was living with her next door at 18 Nelson Ave., also took the stand. James Gavin recalled hearing the gunshots while working on his laptop in Wink’s home.

“I yelled from the sunroom, ‘Did you hear that?’” Gavin recounted.

“And did anyone respond?" asked Assistant State’s Attorney Margaret Moscati.

“No,” Gavin answered.

He testified he heard Wink come in through the back door shortly after and asked if she’d just fired her gun, which she confirmed.

“I said, ‘Did you hit what you were shooting at?’ And she said, ‘Yes.’ Well, she said, ‘I don't think I missed,’” Gavin explained.

Seeger asked Gavin whether Wink was calm, to which he said she wasn’t.

“I believe she was in a state of shock like I was,” Gavin testified.

The jury saw a very calm Wink on police body camera footage from the first officer who arrived on scene. The prosecution played that video on Tuesday, the first day of her trial. In it, Wink admitted to shooting Lametta five times.

Later that day, the jury also watched a cell phone video of Lametta’s final moments. He’d been secretly recording his confrontation with Wink after she let herself in to 16 Nelson Ave. to clean out the refrigerator.

“That's ridiculous. Every day you're going to come in and throw people's stuff away?” Lametta said on the footage.

A few seconds later, the first two shots rang out.

“You, bastard!” Wink said, before firing three more shots.

When police responded there just before noon, it wasn’t their first time. On Sept. 18, 2021—just four months before the fatal shooting—Wink was charged with criminal lockout. Police arrested her after she allegedly locked Lametta out of the house and threw away his belongings.

Police body camera footage from that call is expected to be played in court on Friday.
