If you thought day one of the Brent Christensen trail was strange with an admission of guilt, how about day two?
Christensen, the man accused of kidnapping and killing Chinese U of I Scholar Yingying Zhang, and his attorney’s requested a mistrial despite having admitted Christensen killed her in their opening statement. The defense motioned for a mistrial because they claimed the jury would be prejudiced after seeing an FBI video of Christensen using his right to remain silent.
The judge in the case denied the request saying, “What’s the prejudice since you admitted he killed her?”
