He did call her a lying slut a lot though. When your defense attorney calls you a lying slut multiple times, you know your case is weak. Jose’s argument went on too long, and I fast forwarded through lots of it. Next, Cheney Mason, another defense attorney, talked about the fine points of the law rather than any facts. Tomorrow the prosecution will have a chance to rebut anything the defense said, and then the judge will give instructions on what they can find. So they will start deliberating some time tomorrow.

I’m a little confused on one point, and I think they’ll discuss this more tomorrow. It sounds like the jury can find “premeditated murder” or something like, “aggravated child abuse resulting in death” both of which would be “felony homicide”. I probably didn’t say that right, but it sounds like she didn’t have to necessarily “plan” the murder in order for the jury to find “felony homicide", but it sounded like both would result in a death sentence, and this is what I'm confused about.

You're right...both would be death penalty.
