Day 7
We've had to leave the courtroom to go outside to do our live reports for five and six. We believe that the defense is still cross examining Dr. Hooper. For the second day in a row, Judge Hall had to give the jurors time to get up and move around. This after she saw several of them appear to nod off. Closing arguments are now expected tomorrow. The jury could get the case tomorrow afternoon.
Dr. Hooper is still on the stand. He is being cross examined by the defense, a process that has been going on for almost two hours.
Dr. Hooper says Albarran told him that at the moment he pulled the trigger, he had a vision of the devil.
Dr. Hooper says Albarran showed no signs of mental disease during his evaluation.
Dr. James Hooper is on the stand, testifying for the prosecution. He's the director of the Taylor-Hardin Secure Medical Facility in Tuscaloosa. He evaluated Benito Albarran.
A nurse who treated Albarran at the jail on the night of the shooting is now on the stand.
The prosecution is now calling rebuttal witnesses. So far Ed Cain and David Mullins, both with Huntsville PD, have testified.
Breaking News: The defense has rested their case.
Defense Attorney Bruce Gardner just had Dominga point out a scar on the ear of another sister, named Maria. The scar was supposedly caused by a cut from their father, because he was trying to "mark" all of his children.
Dominga Albarran, the sister of Benito, is on the stand. She is talking about their life growing up in Mexico. This is the first time she has been to the U.S. The defense flew her here just to testify.
Testimony began again at 9:30. Another relative of Albarran's is on the stand discussing the supposed mental disease that runs in the family.
