The message nearly derailed a serial murder case today. Thanks for joining us. That is the brother of one of the alleged murder victims. The message here came in the form of a sign. The judge was afraid the jury had seen. Vic lee is live tonight tochl plain. Vic . The sign was on the windshield of a truck here. The brother told us he had erased the signs on friday but the judge was worried the damage had already been done on the day that the prosecution was wrapping up its case. The 79yearold listened as prosecution delivered closing arguments. Hes charged with murdering four prostitutes decades ago. At the hearing larry rogast told us he doesnt want the Death Penalty for naiso. I dont want him going to death row. That is too good for him. There are too many folks in death row. Hes got internet access, media access, books, libraries. I want a main line prison without, life without. The prosecutor tried to link each of the four victims to naiso by showing a list of the women and momentos including photographs police found at his home, and in a safety deposit box also reminding jurors of dna found on two of the murdered victims. The judge stopped the hearing, worried jurors may have seen a sign on this truck in the parking lot that said joseph naiso murdered my sister january 11th, 1977 ending with a plea for money. The judge was afraid it may have influenced jurors who saw it which could result in a mistrial. Most of the session focused on the potentially damaging affects of the sign. Larry told us he was broke and wrote the sign hoping to raise money. My intent to get to the public to get help to stay here to finish up the trial. Determining jurors had not seen the sign and closing arguments resumed. Prosecutors declined to comment in this case but naiso sent a message to reporters when its over. He says. I am looking forward to my opportunity to present my closing arguments and those will be conducted on friday at 9 30. There, you heard it. Naiso, defending himself gives his closing arguments and should be interesting because he is refused to take the stand during this two month trial this is a special circumstances case so if hes convicted he faces death.
