In the courtroom, day 7

Sorry these posts have been spotty and relatively short. Just to update on the Alvaro Castillo murder and shooting trial, the defense is calling witnesses who have attested to Castillo's mental health, and the prosecution is consistently objecting to certain lines of questioning, such as "did you form an opinion about [Castillo's] mental health?".

The defense began calling witnesses Monday afternoon, and this case appears to be on track to be coming to a conclusion perhaps early next week. This week, I will have a story about Castillo's journals and videos, and will try to funnel thousands of words of notes into a relatively comprehensive story. Someday, I will try and post more complete documentation of the trial's blow-by-blows for anybody who is interested. That day, though, is not today.

Look for more in tomorrow's paper.
