Celebrities Subpoenaed in Shaver Trial

In its second day of testimony, the trial of Billy Joe Shaver has attracted several big name celebrities to the courtroom.

Reportedly, actor Robert Duvall, best know for his performance in "The Godfather," along with Grammy Award winning country singer Willie Nelson, arrived at the McLennan County Courthouse Thursday morning.

Actor and San Saba native Tommy Lee Jones is rumored to appear Friday.

The first witness called by the defense was Shaver's wife, Wonda. She is expected to continue testifying Friday.

The owner of Pappa Joe Saloon, the scene of the alleged crime, testified about what she saw the night of the incident.

In March 2007, Shaver allegedly shot 53-year-old Billy Coker in the face, injuring his cheek, at Pappa Joe's Saloon in Lorena, about 15 miles south of Waco.
