Now. While 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: the public heard arguments regarding the defense request for a continuance, 85 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: the issue of Coburger's alternative perpetrator theory was addressed in 86 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: a closed door hearing. Prosecutors and the defense fought over 87 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: whether Coburger has provided enough evidence that someone else could 88 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: have killed the four victim to present the theory to 89 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: a jury.
