Trial details linger as defense questions DNA and confession
The trial features alleged circumstantial evidence and a graphic account from Harris County prosecutors about the two teenage victims. Dr. Lopez described charred remains, while Jean’s contested confession and a mishandled transcript raise questions. Defense attorneys push mistrial and appeal, with DNA testimony uncertain. The judge weighs juror exposure and the trial resumes Monday at 8:45 a.m.
