    Litchfield (AP) - The murder trial of a Watertown man accused of killing the president of a Torrington motorcycle club is beginning.

    Prosecutors plan to begin presenting evidence in Litchfield Superior Court Wednesday in the trial of 54-year-old Kevin Campbell.

    Campbell is charged with murder in the shooting death of 51-year-old Roland LaGasse of Torrington, who was president of the Forbidden Motor Cycle Club.

    Campbell, who was also a member of the biker club, has said he acted in self-defense and the gun accidentally went off.
