Day Six of Testimony: The People Rest

Defense is done with Investigator Serrano. Prosecution now questioning investigator once more. Prosecutor Michael Coluzza asks if, on May 14th interview, defendant had good knowledge of streets where officer Lindsey was killed. Investigator says yes. Prosecutor asks if suspects often offer fingerprints, dna and to take lie detector tests. Serrano says yes. (Earlier, defense brought out that defendant offered all these things to police during interview).

Investigator Serrano is finished testifying. The people (prosecution) have no other witnesses. Now, a few housekeeping matters; the prosecution is offering certain exhibits into evidence--including Officer Lindsey's service weapon. No objection so far from the defense. The people rest. The judge asks the jury to step aside for 10 minutes while he takes care of some matters with the attorneys. Don't know yet if defense will present any witnesses they might have today, or if the judge will reconvene tomorrow for this.
