I'm Alice and I'm Brett and this is the prosecutor's legal briefs. I'm your host, Alice, and I'm joined as always by my triple threat co-host Brett.

That's right, Alice. I'm a three-tool player or something. I don't know. I know what any of those words mean.

Sure. It has nothing to do with that. I was going to say trifecta but that doesn't really make

sense really I just wanted to put three in there because we are on week three of the Delphi trial and

it's not going quite as long as we had feared which is good I think for everybody but we are

three weeks deep into a trial that is not being televised

and no recordings. And so we have been trying to bring you weekly updates at the end of the

week of five and a half, six day trial days to fill you in on what's been going on because

I know there's a lot of interest and there's also a lot

of high emotions because we are talking about the gruesome murder of two young girls Libby and

Abby. And Alice, you make the point about the length of the trial. I've found that usually

prosecutors, the government understates how long their case is going to take, and defense attorneys

almost always overstate. I mean, defense attorneys are like, well, judge, we might call

100 witnesses. We could be here for weeks, and then like they call two people in rest. In this case,

I think the prosecution finished a little bit ahead of time. The defense is still doing their thing,

but I can't imagine they're going to go all week next week,

particularly what we've seen so far.

So I think we're going to have a verdict by the end of next week.

I think you're right.

I absolutely think you're right.

And part of the reason, just so you guys know,

why the prosecution typically underestimates and the defense overestimates is, this is why I think it typically is.
