1:05 PM: Tobiassen "The inconsistencies are interesting . . the defendant's statements . . . he says he's hit in the chest with the chair and there's photos . . . we got a photo of the defendant and . . . there's no evidence of a large bruise on his chest that would be consistent with that." The defendant's own statements are inconsistent . . . why is that?"

1:00 PM: Tobiassen says when Donald Price had his friend Daniel Marion over, it made him angry. Bryan didn't like Marion. Earlier in the trial, Marion testified that Bryan "wasn't fond of me". After Daniel Marion got on his bike and peddled away that night, Donald Price walked towards the front door. That's when Tobiassen says Bryan shot out the front door. He said if anyone was in self defense that night, it was Donald Price. Daniel Marion said he heard three gunshots as he rode it bike down the street away from the home. He did not go back.

12:50 PM: Tobiassen talks about that night, "He's angry, it appears to be a multitude of reasons . . . upset about artwork . . then Donald Price is disrespecting him by inviting someone there he doesn't like." 

12:45 PM: State Attorney David Tobiassen is beginning his rebuttal. "there's one thing the evidence definitely supports in this case. . . . he's a man of his word. . . minutes before the shooting, he threatened to put a gun to his face . . . now he's deceased." Earlier in the case, the state said that minutes before the shooting that night, Bryan and his friend Richard Cowdery talked about missing artwork, artwork that Bryan believed Donald Price had or knew the whereabouts of. The state said that Bryan told his friend that he would put a gun to Donald Price's head and ask where the artwork is.

12:40 PM: Finkelstein said, "Prosecutors don’t have to prove a motive, but they have to prove intent, consious decision, time for reflection. They say, after he killed Don, he had time to  . . . plan a defense.”

12:35 PM: Finkelstein continues closing arguments. She says Bryan had the right to use his gun. "Self defense is not an excuse, it's a legal defense. . . it was the only option for Mr. Bryan on November 7, 2009." That night, Bryan said the "crackhead" was coming at him. Finkelstein said according to the experts and reports, Donald Price, did have cocaine in his blood at the time of his death. According to experts, he would have used the drug anytime between right before the shooting to three days prior.

He’s been proven guilty of first-degree premeditated murder.” She said Bryan did not do anything do de-escalate the situation that night. Saying he "shot him, not in self defense but in cold blood." Connolly says the crime is consistent with all of the evidence.
