People rest in Ferrer case; first defense witness today is the defendant

Today, the People recalled APD Acting Sgt. Chris Ortega and played a video recording of Ferrer's first interview in which he denied all involvement. The People's next witness was a correctional deputy, Scott Harris, who testified to "spontaneous statements" made by Ferrer at St. Joseph's hospital where he gave a different version of his initial remarks to APD. DA Investigator Jack Bernstein, the People's last witness briefly testified on the stand about a jail conversation between Ferrer and his brother which was about Ferrer's first interview with law enforcement.

At 11:39 today, the People, rested their case and Juan Ferrer took the stand. He denied some of Deputy Scott Harris' testimony on the stand and the explaination he gave for requesting to talk to Acting Sgt. Ortega at the hospital and changing his initial remarks was that he felt more comfortable with Ortega than he did with APD Sgt. Sligh who was present at the first interview.
