Deborah Donley-Clark dries her eyes on Wednesday, Aug. 9, 2017 inside Judge Robbin Stuckert's courtroom at the DeKalb County Courthouse as she listens to police give testimony to the events that lead to the death of her 26-year-old son, Matthew Clark, at his girlfriend's home in the 800 block of Pleasant Street in DeKalb in October, 2015. Christopher Gerken is facing murder charges stemming from a drug deal gone bad, with the prosecution alleging that Gerken was angry with Clark for shorting Gerken about $50 worth of cocaine in a drug transaction.
