The defense only needs 4 days bc imo prosecution has already presented much of defendants case, some through defense cross examination but most through the P’s witnesses testimony. The investigation alone lets Karen walk free imo.And the defense has laid the groundwork that all investigative roads lead to Proctor Trooper.
Which is why they probably figure they only need 4 days to put on her defense.
I glanced at this and noticed the 'bagels' typo and then my brain thought 'wetness' might also be a typo instead of 'witness' but it was, in fact, the right word.
