Over the last few weeks, a St. Clair jury had been introduced to a variety of alleged eyewitnesses to the crime, and listened to damaging - but sometimes conflicting - accounts of the events of the morning of November 5th, 1986. Additionally, they had heard key testimony as to the defendant's character – primarily from the victim's fiancée, Crystal Merrill, who had briefly dated Fred. Her scathing portrayal of Freeman as a manipulative and abusive individual – who, according to her testimony, claimed to be a Ninja warrior in a secret organization. The prosecution's case also featured the testimony of Phillip Joplin, a career criminal who contended that Freeman had nonchalantly confessed to the murder to him while the two were being held for a couple of hours in the same cell. But now it was the defense's turn, and they had strong eyewitnesses of their own to present. Could a parade of purportedly unbiased individuals – several who, frankly, didn't even particularly care for Fred Freeman – counteract the impact of the prosecution's case?
