A dramatic finale

Rebutting closing statements from the defense, Prosecutor Pete Magrino charged that Public Defender Daniel Lewan's arguments were pure speculation.

He urged jurors to "keep their eye on the ball" and not go after "any low and outside curve ball" thrown by the defense.

Magrino grappled with Jessica's stained dolphin and described how she was taken from her home and asked for just one thing: the stuffed dolphin her dad had given her at the State Fair.

Searing the iconic "pink hat" photo of Jessica into jurors' minds, Magrino presented it to them one last time. He then placed the print, and Jessica's dolphin, in black trash bags.

Good job Mr. Magrino! You left no stones unturned, the outcome was what the world has been waiting for, Guilty! Justice for Jessica.
