Matthew Farwell: The Defense Rests. Did Prosecutors Prove Their Case?

Matthew Farwell’s defense rested on November 4 without calling the former police detective to testify. Federal prosecutors allege Farwell killed Sandra Birchmore and staged her death. His defense disputes that account. Criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter examines the competing expert opinions and what the forensic evidence can tell jurors about how Birchmore died. In Virginia, Naresh Bhatt took the stand in his own defense against the charge that he murdered his wife, Mamta Kafle Bhatt, whose body has never been found. How does his account compare with the evidence prosecutors presented before resting their case?
