Defense attorney Richard Rydelek said the state’s case is “circumstantial.” He urged the jury not to let an “emotional stampede” of gruesome photos and details influence them to reach a “premature verdict.”

“A fair trial is not a trial ruled by inflamed passions, it should be based on evidence, reason, and rationality,” Rydelek said. “Publicity brings pressure and pressure causes these kinds of things.”

The circumstantial evidence speaks for itself. Hopefully the jury will agree.
