Legal analyst Dante Mills weighs in on how juries interpret emotion, expert testimony, and elaborate prosecution theories, while reporters inside the courtroom explain why the judge is accelerating the schedule ahead of a potential snowstorm. With motions denied, experts disagreeing, and the defense now fully underway, the case is entering a decisive phase.
