The prosecution calls witnesses to testify on Tim Heidecker's character. His reactions, ranging from violent death threats to emotional heartbreak, seem to spell doom for him. The prosecution rests their case.

Day 4

Tim calls his final witnesses; when he doesn't use it as an attempt to settle personal scores, he attempts to get them to flagrantly forge evidence on his behalf. They make their closing statements, and the jury moves to deliberate.
