During testimony, it's pretty much been established that Bob's family has abandoned him.

I'm home from my appointment in time for closing arguments. Probably won't watch all of it as I have some errands to run.

Per Judge Evans: Each side gets two hours for closing. Prosecution has burden of proof and will present arguments twice. Jurors make determination based on facts that have presented to them.
