Description
Alleged serial killer Rex Heuermann is facing more charges. A TikTok influencer charged with murder finds out if his performance on the stand was convincing. NBC San Diego's Dana Williams tells us the courtroom erupted after the verdict was read. And just up the 5 in Orange County, a legal strategy is being tested in the case of Sam Woodward, charged with a hate crime in the killing of his high school classmate, Blaze Bernstein. The state says Sam killed Blaze for being gay. Defense says it's complicated. Reporter Louis Keene brings us his observations from the trial, now in its third month.
For more of Louis Keene's reporting, read his work at The Forward.
WNBC is following Rex Heuermann's case.
