Although most of the DNA evidence in the case against Meechaiel Criner was thrown out by the judge, the prosecution spent Tuesday discussing the remaining physical evidence. Criner, a 20-year-old homeless man, is indicted for capital murder changes in connection with the 2016 murder of Haruka Weiser.

Gonzalez said he searched Criner’s bags and found a MacBook laptop. Weiser’s friends testified on Wednesday that Weiser had a MacBook in her possession before her death.

The trial began Wednesday for Meechaiel Criner, the 20-year-old indicted on capital murder in connection with the death of dance freshman Haruka Weiser.

After day one of jury selection, six women and three men in the jury pool were tapped for the jury.
