After Joe Corona was arrested in March 2009, his friends were shattered by the level of betrayal.

Not everyone from the Corvette Club, however, thinks that Joe is guilty, like Patricia Turner.

Almost four years to the day that Tina Corona was murdered, both sides are now ready to present their case to the jury.

Being in a jury, it's a shared experience, but it's also... Four members of the jury sat down with us to talk about their reaction to the testimony.

The state starts building its case brick by brick, and Gary Hathaway is a key witness.

Detective Kevin Martin from the Bartlett Police Department was one of the lead investigators on the case.
