Good idea to end for today. I think defense was trying to stall rebuttal until late. Then they can blame the prosecution for their burn out.
Good idea on the judges part. The jury has time to think about the closing arguments today and tomorrow the prosecution can rebut that 5 hours of too much today.
Good idea to pick the female for rebuttal. She is superb and will add the female touch.
Panic in the State case?
