His attorneys are trying to convince a judge to suppress incriminating statements Devoe made to several New York police officers and members of his own family.

Local detectives say Devoe went on a killing spree starting with a bartender in Marble Falls in August of last year.

Devoe's accused of going from Marble Falls to an ex-girlfriend's house in Jonestown where police say he killed 4-people.  Devoe allegedly fled Texas and while on the run police say he killed an elderly Pennsylvania woman just for her car.

Police in Suffolk County, New York arrested Devoe and some of the same officers testified in Austin on Tuesday about incriminating statements they say Devoe made to them voluntarily.

The last person to take the stand was Stephen Barr, a Travis County inmate who's in jail for failing to pay child support.

Barr was Devoe's cellmate for a few hours, but in that time Barr says Devoe admitted to killing 6-people.

"Is it possible that what he told you is that I've been charged with killing six people" Devoe's defense attorneys asked Barr.  "No, he said he killed 6-people" Barr responded.

The prosecution is expected to call several more witnesses to the stand on Wednesday who say Devoe made incriminating statements to them.  One of those witnesses is Devoe's own sister.
