We are now well into the prosecution's case against Darren Mack. We've finally seen Daniel Osborne, Darren Mack's friend and witness who was at the condo the day Charla Mack was killed. His story on that day helped police connect the dots between Charla Mack's death and the shooting of Judge Weller. We listened an entire day from forensic experts about whose blood was found at the scene--mostly Charla's. But some of Darren's was found in the home as well. Court TV has taken an interest in this case and is covering it from gavel to gavel. You can watch the proceedings on cable. I was lucky enough to be asked as a guest on Monday morning because I've been covering the case in Reno, but was also covering the shooting when it happened, and I also happen to be a Reno native. But Jean Casarez who use to anchor and work with me at KOLO is now big time at Court TV. I'm sure she convinced those higher up to put me on. I'm grateful to her and thank her. She and I are exchanging notes on this trial and helping each other out.

Questions posed to me were more about how the community viewed Judge Weller, the crime itself, what reputation Darren Mack had in Reno. But we also talked about state law--change of venue and the fact that here in Nevada you have the right to defend yourself. Prospective jurors were asked about that aspect of the law during jury selection. Scott Freeman and David Chesnoff made sure those called for jury duty understood that no matter what they would do personally the law is what the law is here in Nevada. And considering self defense is being used in this case as a reason Darren Mack fatally stabbed Charla Mack it is a law the defense attorneys in this case will heavily rely.
