will then present their cases. Once both sides have called all their witnesses

they will give closing statements and the jury will decide on a verdict.

The jury should last about seven days and finish at the beginning of next week

according to records from an April 30 status hearing.

Prosecutors will attempt to prove Hendrickson is guilty of aggravated murder

which requires the defendant planned the murder in any way

Warren said. This case is not a death penalty case because the alleged murder was not committed with another felony.
