(1) An FBI expert identified Malvo's fingerprints on some trash found at one of the shooting scenes and a former police cadet testified about finding a shell casing.
(2) "Lee Boyd Malvo calmly told a Baltimore jail guard that he and his "father" had left "21 bodies across the United States," and he took responsibility for killing "the lady at the Home Depot" -- FBI analyst Linda Franklin -- the guard testified Thursday."
(3) The prosecution also called victim witnesses and introduced the note stating: "Your children are not safe anywhere at anytime."
The day ended with the following exchange:
After the jurors left the courtroom, prosecutor Robert F. Horan Jr. told Judge Jane Marum Roush that a prosecution mental-health expert planned to interview and evaluate Malvo on Friday afternoon. Roush had scheduled a short, three-hour session for that day.(4) A discussion of the juvenile death penalty and the possibility of it being found unconstitutional.
Craig S. Cooley, the lead defense lawyer, asked whether the court day could be extended a few hours so he could begin putting on a case for which witnesses are flying in from far-off places.
Horan, who earlier said the prosecution case may wind up Friday morning, responded heatedly that evaluating Malvo's mental state would take time. He said the defense had supplied him this week with a new, 40-page mental evaluation that differed in some ways from an earlier defense report on Malvo's psychology.
Cooley said outside the courtroom that he disagrees.
"There are no dramatic differences whatsoever," Cooley said. "It is simply a more detailed report."
