The state rests its case.

Liefer feels that the state has not met the burden of proof, so Peterson is not guilty.

Shelly McGree won't agree to testify. Despite Liefer's request, Judge Brown upholds decision to bar McGree's testimony.

Jury now being brought in. Liefer preparing to call his first witness of the day. #DrewPeterson trial

Defense calls Jesus Padilla to the stand. #DrewPeterson trial

Padilla said that when Smith came back to Menard from Pontiac, he was different, seemed suspicious.

Padilla and Peterson had conversations about Smith - Liefer asked about convos – State objects to this

Court sustained objection

Padilla has received training for paralegal and assists other inmates in preparing documents for their cases

Walker had no cross x questions for Padilla

Liefer calls Albert Chavez to the stand

Chavez said that he wasn't hanging out with Smith & Peterson after Smith came back as the pair were running a scam - state objects to info

Chavez - people try to scam each other every day...

Walker has no cross x of Chavez

Liefer calls Jacob Bohanon to the stand

Bohanon said that Smith is not trustworthy; Walker no cross x. Now brief recess.

This recess is a lot longer than they'd say it would be...

#DrewPeterson has waived his right to testify. Defense has rested.

#DrewPeterson trial WILL CLOSE on Tuesday!

Judge Brown says closing arguments will be Tuesday morning, and trial will wrap up late morning, early afternoon that day. #DrewPeterson
