Everyone was wearing pink, Kata's favorite color.
Right, so juror number six is at the center of Serafini's push for a new trial, and she was back in the courtroom on Monday.
Serafini's defense attorney questioned the juror in front of the judge about how she used computer tools to review evidence during the case.
She testified that she used the snipping tool to grab screenshots from two surveillance videos shown at trial,
One showing Serafini in a hotel lobby the day before the shootings and the other showing a masked hooded figure outside the victim's home on the day of the murders.
Right, exactly.
The juror also said that she zoomed in on parts of the suspect's body, the face, shoulders, legs, and shoes, but didn't brighten or alter the images.
What's the defense saying about that?
Yeah, so defense attorney Barry Zimmerman argues that her actions went too far, that she was basically doing her own analysis.
But prosecutors say that she was just trying to make sense of what she saw with the tools that she had.
Now the judge has to decide whether that was harmless or enough to grant Serafini a whole new trial.
How long before the judge makes a decision, do we know?
It's a good question.
Another hearing on juror misconduct is set for December 8th.
Serafini also claims that he had insufficient counsel, and that hearing is scheduled for January.
Yeah, so prosecutors say the alleged hit was all about money, specifically a trust fund that would go to her daughter if Erin died.
But the couple's messy divorce revealed way more layers.
Angie accused Erin of abusing her and their children, making graphic claims that he molested their daughter when she was a minor.
The court found no merit to those claims.
She also blamed Erin for their son's tragic death in 2020.
