CLEVELAND COUNTY -
The defense team for Joseph Alliniece, though scheduled to start Friday, won t begin presenting their case till next week.
Prosecutors wrapped their case against the man charged with killing Brittani Young; But his defense team has yet to begin presenting their case.

Instead of the defense presenting its case to the jury after lunch, the court decided to recess for the weekend just before noon Friday.

The third witness was that Norman officer, who then drove Alliniece to investigators for processing.
All of the officers wore body cams, which showed Alliniece cooperating with police.
