Defense rests without witnesses in Uber ride murder trial
Fox News
The defense rested without calling any witnesses Monday in the murder trial of a man accused of killing a South Carolina college student who mistakenly got into what she thought was her Uber ride.
Prosecutors also rested their case Monday after calling nearly three dozen witnesses. The next-to-last person on the stand was a pathologist who testified there were more than 100 stab wounds on Josephson's body. There was also so little blood left in her body — 1.3 tablespoons, when a body typically has at least 1 gallon — that workers at her autopsy struggled to get enough blood for routine testing, said Dr. Thomas Beaver, who conducted the examination of the woman after her death. Beaver spent an hour methodically detailing the roughly 120 separate stab wounds on Josephson's body. He said he didn't have en exact number because there were so many.
