US Courts Hear Murder Trial of Luciano Frattolin and School Shooting Trial of Cassandra Michael

In New York, Luciano Frattolin, a Canadian coffee entrepreneur, faces a murder trial for the killing of his 9‑year‑old daughter, Melina, in the Adirondacks. Prosecutors presented extensive evidence, including video footage and testimony, while Frattolin considered testifying in his own defense.

In Fresno, California, the trial of teen shooter Cassandra Michael continued with prosecutors resting their case after presenting cellphone‑location data. Forensic analyst Destin Watkins explained that Michael’s iPhone recorded multiple locations and lock events on the night of the April 23 shooting, and highlighted searches on the boyfriend’s phone. The defense called witnesses, including a friend and a Jane Doe who testified about the events surrounding the incident.
