SUMMARY: In the Yolanda Saldivar trial in Houston, following the prosecution’s conclusion, the defense quickly rested its case after calling five witnesses, mostly motel employees. Lead defense attorney Doug Tinker emphasized the strength of their position. One key witness, Ruben Deon, contradicted a prosecution claim about Selena’s final words. He admitted he was distracted during the incident and did not hear Selena. The prosecution maintained the solidity of their case, with General Manager Barbara Schulz challenging the credibility of another prosecution witness. The trial’s atmosphere suggested the defense anticipated a challenging outcome as it approached closing arguments.
