So I wanted to start out with a note on Faith and who she was because today is the last day.
In a way, perhaps the person they might speak for the most in some capacity, especially when the victims are no longer here with us and there's no surviving victim.
You know, they are trying to do what they see as getting justice for Faith, who is no longer here and didn't get to enjoy her life.
So, In a way, like now we're not going to hear from that side anymore, aside from they'll get to do the cross examinations like the defense has been doing this whole time.
When you conceptualize a successful states case in chief sort of run, Kevin, what does that look like for you?
Well, what are some things you like to see that make you think this was a pretty good case for the state?
But when you do have DNA evidence, it at the very least is evidence of a solid connection between the accused person and the crime.
So when I see the DNA evidence in this case and I see some of the other evidence in this case, especially some of the evidence about what she was like as a person.
And when I look at that evidence, it doesn't seem like there is an explanation for her to be in contact with this person in such a way that the DNA evidence would be left that is consistent with his innocence.
Now, something happened in day nine, rather, that's yesterday, that made me feel like they fumbled a little bit on their last day.
I thought there was a mistake made that really stood out to me that I think I'm going to just say that for now.
And I will hold off on telling you how important I think this is and what kind of impact it might have.
