Since the judge ruled Connor was too incompetent to testify in person, the defense didn't get to cross-examine Paul Connor in front of this jury.

But what the jury did get to hear this week was a defense attorney challenging Connor at that 2022 videotaped testimony.

And they got him to admit some things, right?

You bet.

They got him to admit that it was, in fact, dark that night.

They also got him to admit that he had type 2 diabetes and that did compromise his eyesight.

And there was a question as to whether he was wearing glasses when he saw that person walk past him.

Yes.

So all those things could potentially raise a little doubt about the credibility or at least the believability of this particular witness.

All right, Jay, thank you very much.

This is a riveting case.

We have a quick update for you about this trial.

On Wednesday afternoon, after I taped my conversation with Jay, the prosecution wrapped up its case.

And then the defense did something surprising.

They rested without calling a single witness.

Closing arguments quickly got underway.

We'll bring you all those details and what the jury had to say next week.

Up next, it's time for Dateline Roundup.

Updates from the courtroom on the double homicide of Rob and Michelle Reiner and the trial of Dale Warner, the Michigan farmer accused of murdering his wife and concealing her body in a fertilizer tank.

Plus, the case of a mom of five who went missing that I've never been able to shake.
