After seeing the first two days of trial, my personal opinion is, it could be that both the boyfriend and the suspect were involved. It's possible the boyfriend paid off the suspect to go clean up the scene. Because there seems to be evidence pointing to both. Now I don't know how these two would know each other and how this happened. That might be something interesting to find out more about.

A heated moment unfolded in court when defense attorney Ahmad Crews was held in contempt and fined $1,000 after prosecutors objected twice to comments made during opening statements. Crews said the comments were not intended to circumvent the statute, but rather to show Chris Melton’s consciousness of guilt in his conflicting statements. Judge Lisa Lott ruled the remarks violated Georgia’s rape shield law, known as Rule 412, which limits references to an alleged victim’s sexual history without prior court approval. The judge went on to explain that if the defense believes the evidence is relevant, they must file a formal notice and obtain court approval before referencing it before the jury.
