Prosecutors framed the case around a revenge motive, while the defense invoked a “tsunami of reasonable doubt” about the alleged murder‑for‑hire plot.

Rolling Stone reports the vivid language used in closing arguments, and Yahoo describes prosecutors’ presentation of the escape‑plan evidence. LAmag confirms that after the closing statements the trial moved to a twelve‑person jury for deliberation, and The New York Times compiled a timeline of key events for context.
