The homicides took place three years ago in Mesilla Hills, near Las Cruces. Ferri, 50, faces three counts of first degree murder. The trial is expected to last two weeks.   Investigators allege he shot a local couple and their business partner the night before they were supposed to appear at a court hearing.   The victims are 69-year-old Gilles Delisle and his 72-year-old wife Helga. Peter Weith, 68, was the third shooting victim.   The case is being tried by prosecutors from the Otero County District Attorney's office because there was a conflict of interest with the Dona Ana County district attorney.
