The first set of police officers took the stand. This first one was a record keeper who released Rosemarie Essa's car from police custody to her husband. Jurors learned more about the car accident Rosemarie was involved in before she died. Prosecutors believed the defendant wanted his wife to die by poisoning but have it look like a car crash. These first responders arrived on the scene of this accident only to come across an unresponsive woman in her car.

The firefighter-paramedic on the stand explained to the jury how his team scrambled to try to save the life of Rosemarie Essa. She had been in a minor car accident. But even after she died, doctors were left wondering what exactly took her life. Next, the victim's older brother took the stand. Jurors heard another side of the story about his sister meeting and marrying the defendant, Dr. Yazeed Essa.

Jurors listened to emotional testimony from Rosemarie Essa's brother. Dominic DiPuccio recalled how he rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead after a minor car accident. The State alleged that a mysterious phone call revealed a sinister plot of the defendant trying to kill his wife, Rosemarie. That phone call claimed Yazeed encouraged her to take a calcium supplement just before she died.

The brother of Rosemarie Essa recalled the days after his sister lost her life. Dominic DiPuccio testified against her husband, Yazeed Essa, who was accused of killing her. Her brother claimed Yazeed's demeanor changed drastically when he learned that her family and friends knew about the poisoned calcium supplement. Yazeed was accused of using a cyanide-laced calcium pill to kill her so he could begin a relationship with one of his many mistresses.

As the saying goes, he who represents himself in court has a fool for a client; in the case of Marc Benayer, who shot a man in his synagogue parking lot, was he a fool or did his mental illness affect whether the jury would find him guilty?

As shocking as the brutal double murder committed by vampire obsessed teenaged Rod Ferrell was, nobody expected him to plead guilty at the start of his trial, leaving just the monumental question of how young is too young for the death penalty.

Mark Dippolito couldn't believe it when the police told him his new bride Dalia had hired a hitman to have him killed; he was even more surprised when she claimed in court that it was his idea.

Cynthia Sommer's world was turned upside down when her 23-year-old husband Todd died; nearly five years later she was under arrest and accused of poisoning him.
