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. The defense acknowledged that he disposed of her body, burned her remains, used her debit card, and created fake messages, but argued those actions reflected panic and a cover-up rather than murder. Attorneys emphasized there is no direct evidence of an intentional killing and urged jurors to return a not guilty verdict on the homicide charges.
