The defense rested Thursday after calling six experts and Bob told the judge himself he did not want to testify.The jury will be deliberating the whole day today. Closing arguments took all afternoon Thursday after the defense rested its case earlier in the day.
The state said Bob said five different times on the 911 call "I killed my wife," and it's what he didn't do after his wife was dead that screams that doesn't fit the puzzle.
The defense's final witness was a blood stain analyst who said Bob was at a very close distance to his wife, when she was shot. He also said Diane did not just drop to the ground, like prosecutors had claimed.
According to analysts Bob didn't testify on his behalf because of outbursts he had done earlier in the week. On Tuesday, Bob slammed his fist on the defense table when a prosecutor asked his daughter, Sarah, if she was there when her father shot her mother in the face.
Then on Wednesday, Ward shouted in the middle of a witness' testimony. The jury was not in the courtroom during that outburst.
Defense attorney Kirk Kirkconnell said the state asked an insensitive question to Ward's youngest daughter which caused Ward to slam his hand down.

Day 2 of Isleworth Millionaire Trial
Today the jury was shown the revolver used to kill Diane Ward, as well as a photo of a dead Diane lying on the bedroom floor. Evidence also included photos of the bloodied walls, Bob's clothing and bedding. Wine stains were on the bedding and according to investigators the scene looked liked a domestic disturbance had occurred.
There were no finger prints found on the gun. Now if there were no fingerprints on the gun wouldn't that in itself be suspicious?
The couple's two daughters left the courtroom, not wanting to see the photos. Bob also kept his head down while they were shown.
A witness from the Medical Examiner’s office testified, and the jury was shown Diane Ward’s autopsy photos. She was shot in her face, almost right between her eyes.
Mallory Ward : Bob and Diane's daughter
-"She told me a month before she died that my father was the finest man she'd ever known. "It was a relationship built on respect, and they loved each other so much."
-when she spoke to her mother just hours before she was shot, she seemed fine.
Prosecutors said Ward had no remorse over his wife's death. An officer said while Ward was in his patrol car, he talked mostly about football.
