The Capitol murder trial for former delivery driver Tanner Horner resumes in a few hours without the jury.

Jurors cried, some wept openly as the prosecution played the audio recording from inside Tanner Horner's delivery truck.

background, the allegations, the women who have come forward,

all of it. So today, what I want to do is reopen Athena's case. And if you're new here or new to
