Episode 07: The State Rests

Sendus a text

As the trial for Jason Chen enters its final stretch, the prosecution delivers a major shift—resting their case earlier than expected. But before the defense takes over, motions fly, including a request for lesser charges and an attempt to introduce a forensic psychologist to challenge premeditation.

We hear from two critical witnesses:

• Courtney Paglino-Brewer - the downstairs neighbor, who recounts the terrifying scream and chaotic sounds she heard the night Jasmine Pace was murdered.
• Travis Pace, Jasmine’s father, whose desperate search led him to break into Jason Chen’s apartment, discovering Jasmine’s belongings—and a chilling realization that something was terribly wrong.

The defense presents their case, but it’s underwhelming. Their final witness, private investigator Johnny Lawrence, raises doubts about the crime scene but admits he can’t prove anything definitively. After all the motions, legal maneuvering, and cross-examinations, the defense rests—leaving the jury with more questions than answers.

Next, both sides prepare for closing arguments—and the weight of the verdict looms.
