Nelson requested an acquittal this morning, which Judge Cahill denied. Now the court is going over Morries Hall's potential testimony.
Hall's attorney is arguing that all of the questions that the defense wants to ask Hall could incriminate him, so he "cannot answer any of those questions."
Court has begun but the jury isn't in yet - Cahill is discussing "the admissibility of body worn camera" (BWC) video.
