9:37Now PlayingIn the defense opening statement in the trial of Zachariah Rasch, his attorney told jurors that Crystal Rasch accidentally shot herself with his handgun during a June 11, 2024, trip, and that he then panicked and made a series of poor decisions.

Attorneys emphasized there is no direct evidence of an intentional killing and urged jurors to return a not guilty verdict on the homicide charges.
