GUN SILENCER PARTS FOUND IN MAD MARNI'S HOME

CRAZY?

REUTER

MAD Marni Yang bought all the items needed to make a gun silencer on the same day that she received a book explaining how to make them in the mail Cops testified on the explosive first day of testimony at her murder trial.
Two months before Rhoni Reuter, the pregnant lover of former Chicago Bear Shaun Gayle was shot, Yang allegedly bought the first two volumes of a book called "How to Make Disposable Silencers."
The 43-year-old, who is accused of murdering Reuter because she was jealous of her relationship with Gayle, then bought all the items needed to make one Crime scene technicians
testified.
Most of those materials were later recovered from her home, Deerfield police detective Juan Mazariegos said.
Cops who secretly scoured Yang's garbage for clues, found records showing that Yang paid $20 extra for overnight shipping and the book was delivered to her Chicago home the next day.
Itemized receipts from a Chicago Home Depot then show she went out and bought a cordless drill, a keyhole saw, a hacksaw, lengths of PVC and brass pipe of various diameters and a Dremel electric multipurpose tool amongst other items. 
All of the items were called for or suggested for use in constructing what the book called a “pipe silencer” for a firearm, Mazariegos said.
During questioning Yang admitted to police she had bought the silencer book as a “gag gift” for a friend who is a gun collector.
She is also shown on videotape explaining to the officers she bought the supplies at the Home Depot in anticipation of making a school science project for one of her children on noise dispersion.
But, she says on the videotape, she decided against attempting to build a silencer because she feared someone could be injured in demonstrating its use.
Associate Judge Christopher Stride barred the use of the tapes during Yang’s trial because police disregarded her requests to see an attorney.
Yang faces up to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder and intentional homicide of an unborn child in the case.

The trial continues.
