She said the altercation stemmed from Turner being “upset about photos and messages on the doctor’s phone,” according to NBC News affiliate KSNV. She claimed to have seen Kennison approach the late doctor with a bat, with Turner egging on the violence. She then saw Kennison wrestling the victim, and she
