You're listening to live courtroom coverage of the trial of Karen Reed from the Hidden

Killers podcast and True Crime Today. Now, back to the courtroom.

0:11.0

That I did not have when I checked email before coming to court today. So I'll hear you

quickly on these. I've had a chance to read them. So, Mr. Brandon, I'll hear you.
