The final witness before the prosecution and defense rested Monday was Tyrice Ross, one of Debbie Ross' six sisters. She testified that before Ross ended her 14-year relationship with Burris, she discovered that he was cheating on her with a young woman in Texas while away as a long-haul truck drive
Tyrice Ross said Debbie Ross was packing to move into her Oakland home Aug. 7, 2009, when Debbie called and said Burris would not let her leave the home. He eventually did -- after Tyrice Ross called Richmond police and reported her sister was being held hostage.
