Defense to present case in Tanner Horner trial
Tanner Horner pleaded guilty to killing 7-year-old Athena Strand just moments before his capital murder trial was set to begin last week. Despite his plea, a sentencing phase of the trial is underway, in which Horner still faces the death penalty.
For more than a week, a Tarrant County jury has heard testimony, seen and heard graphic video evidence of the days leading to and after Athena Strand's death.
