The defense has rested in the trial of Jason Williford, who charged with the 2010 rape and murder of N.C. State Board of Education member Kathy Taft.
Defense lawyers have not tried to deny Williford killed Taft. Instead, they’re trying to keep him off death row by trying to prove the crime was not premeditated – a requirement required for the death penalty under North Carolina law.
