Welcome to MK True Crime.

0:06.9

I'm Dave Aaronberg, former state attorney for Palm Beach County, Florida, and current managing partner of Dave Aaronberg Law.

0:13.8

Here's what's on the docket today.

0:16.5

We're at the end of week three of Aquari Richens' murder trial.

0:20.5

Housekeeper Carmen Lobber was called back to the stand by the defense.

0:24.7

Why?

What do you think about the defense side resting on day one? You know, I'm not surprised that they didn't put up any evidence. You know, the defense doesn't usually put up evidence.
