SUMMARY: In the Yolanda Saldivar trial in Houston, following the prosecution’s conclusion, the defense quickly rested its case after calling five witnesses, mostly motel employees. Lead defense attorney Doug Tinker emphasized the strength of their position. One key witness, Ruben Deon, contradicted a prosecution claim about Selena’s final words. He admitted he was distracted during the incident and did not hear Selena. The prosecution maintained the solidity of their case, with General Manager Barbara Schulz challenging the credibility of another prosecution witness. The trial’s atmosphere suggested the defense anticipated a challenging outcome as it approached closing arguments.

On October 23, 1995, the trial of Yolanda Saldívar—the woman accused of murdering Selena Quintanilla– wrapped up Houston Texas, after being moved from Corpus Christi.

Despite a rough first half with 10 consecutive incompletions, Manning showed flashes of promise and scored twice on the ground. Sarkisian emphasized Manning’s mental struggle rather than physical injury and expressed confidence in his growth and consistency.
