tune for kris' lawyer to call for a mistrial. with the new trial, hendon would know the prosecution's arguments ahead of time. without a new trial, the judge replacing mousey could face deciding a death sentence without hearing all the evidence. >> i wanted a new trial. but hendon's advice was not to ask for a mistrial. >> he said they would just go on with the trial because he felt they made headway and they had a good jury. >> why would they do this? >> probably the main motivation was he was on a set fee. and you're going to have to start over and that cuts into your fee. >> hendon claimed he had worked hard on behalf of his client, the jury would go on to hear six days of testimony, all directed against kris. neville butler testified about the graphic details of the murders he said he had watched kris commit.
