Prosecutors insist Frazee is guilty of first-degree murder by killing the mother of their 2-year-old child with a baseball bat. They also say that Krystal Lee, Frazee's on-again, off-again girlfriend, claimed Frazee tried three times to get her to murder Berreth and then Frazee said he killed her himself in Berreth's home.

Lee also took investigators to Frazee's ranch to show them where Berreth's body was allegedly burned.

Testimony began earlier this month with Berreth's family, her mother and brother, testifying.

On that same week, Frazee's brother, Sean Frazee, testified that the defendant showed up two hours after the family ate Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 22, 2018 -- the last day Berreth was seen alive.
