moment and -- home and that's when she was attacked. dynel lane gave a statement and she said that michele wilkins was the attacker. >> it was a struggle. i was yelling. i was maybe trying to get my neighbors to hear me and i just -- is trying to grab for her phone, but she, i think, had a lock on it. i'm not sure. but it was like -- i was trying to call 911. i tried to yell at her but she would not stop. >> reporter: we heard witnesses testify that dynel lane changed her story several times. and prosecutors brought up the fact that she said that she was pregnant and that may have been

the defense, again, didn't call any witnesses. closing arguments will begin today. and then the jurors will get the case. >> 100 years if she's convicted. thank you, tarhonda. a woman and a young child were seriously hurt when they were involved in a crash. both were not wearing any seat belt when they were involved in a crash. the woman was supposed to have her baby today. alcohol and speed were not the cause-the-crashing so police are looking into who had the right of way. the company that makes the rifle used to kill 20 first graders and staff at sandy hook want the lawsuit filed against them thrown out.
