That bathroom was the perfect spot, the prosecutor says, for Mindy to lie in wait.
Mindy is in here.
Andy comes through this door.
In court, Burkhardt also highlights how Mindy's claim of self-defense makes no sense given how Andy Barani died.
Mindy shot her father in the back.
There's no confrontation, no verbal exchange, no physical exchange prior to the shooting.
