The prosecutor in a Watertown murder trial got the okay for a special purchase.

The Codington County commission gave the States' attorney permission to buy a sophisticated computer program during the murder trial of David Amotun.

The 21 year old is accused of killing 18 year old Brandy Cotton back in January. The program costs $12,500 and it will record all of the evidence onto DVD, which can be played to the jury.

The trial has been delayed until fall.
