Defense Case Rests
Entering the eighth day of trial, Karen Sypher's lawyer rests their case. Sypher was quoted earlier in the week saying she was "waiting for my day", but she and no other witnesses will take the stand for the defense.
Sypher, who is charged with demanding millions of dollars from UofL basketball coach to keep quiet about their sexual tryst will not be on the stand for questioning during this trial.
Prosecutors say that Sypher demanded $10 million, college tuition for her children, and her house to be paid off in exchange for her silence. Witnesses have also testified to her knowledge of the crime.
The trial has lasted over a week and closing arguments are expected to begin later on Wednesday.
