Summary

It doesn’t happen often, but when a murder defendant takes the stand to testify in their own defense it never fails to fascinate, and the testimony of Michelle Boat was no exception. Boat, who was found guilty of the murder of her romantic rival Tracy Mondabough and now faces life in prison for first degree murder, took the stand in an attempt to convince the jury to convict her of a lesser charge. Host Vinnie Politan and Court TV anchor Ted Rowlands will break down her testimony and examine what may have hurt her cause the most. Get the latest updates on CourtTV and CourtTV.com and tune in to see Vinnie Politan and the entire Court TV team review each day’s testimony on Closing Arguments weeknights from 8pm to 11pm.

0:56.2	happen at court TV that doesn't happen that often.
0:59.7	First we had a criminal defendant taking the witness stand in her own defense. That's rare. And then she got up on the witness stand and admitted to killing another human being,
1:13.7	unbelievable, unbelievable moment.
1:18.0	And the reason she was doing that
1:20.6	is that her defense is not that she's not guilty. Her defense is that she's
1:24.5	guilty of something else. Her name is Michelle Boat. She's been charged with the

1:45.1	that she somehow just snapped in the moment.
