In a recent courtroom update, it was revealed that the witness, Hoffinger, has approximately 30 to 45 minutes left of testimony, scheduled for tomorrow. Following Hoffinger, Beauvais is expected to have a redirect that may last around 10 to 15 minutes. It was also mentioned that there are no plans to call any witnesses after Costello.
Based on the information shared during the court proceedings, it appears that there is roughly an hour remaining for the current witness, who is anticipated to be the final one. The next steps in the trial are still uncertain. Will closing arguments follow the conclusion of testimony? The closing arguments were initially set for a week from tomorrow, but with only an hour left for testimony, the timeline raises questions.
Furthermore, it was noted that Blanche has requested a dismissal of the charges, a move that was expected by many observers. As the trial progresses, the judge retains the authority to make adjustments to the schedule, so the situation remains fluid.
