Morton County state's attorney Brian Grossinger asked the jury to find Rodney Friesz guilty of murder and arson. And for the first time jury members saw photographs of the inside of the trailer where Gene Jassman was found dead. The photos included images of Jassman's body. The agent describing the scene says investigators found soot around Jassman's mouth and nose-- leading him to believe Jassman was still breathing when the fire was started. Grossinger told the jury the argument for self defense was not believable. The defense argued there wasn't enough evidence to link Friesz to the murder or the fire. Attorney Monty Mertz said the gas found on Friesz's shoes doesn't prove he did anything. The defense's key witness was Michael Bonogofsky, a long-time friend of Friesz. Bonogofsky said Friesz had been acting strange and said he feared for his life. Bonogofsky told the jury that on the day of the incident, Friesz came and told him he loved him and said, today was the day the people were coming to kill him. "He was really scared and freaked out you know. Leading up to this, a few days before, he said, I don't know who was threatening him. Whether it was a person or if it was in his mind or what it was, I don't know. You could tell he was scared and it wasn't Rod," says Michael Bonogofsky, Jr. The defense wanted to bring three additional witnesses to the stand. One of them was going to talk about Bonogofsky taking credit for killing Jassman. Friesz did not take the stand during the trial.
