In the first week of the Nichole Rice murder trial, testimony took a sharp turn as multiple witnesses claimed Rice confessed to the 2007 stabbing of her roommate, Anita Knutson.

The defense pushed back, questioning memory, timelines, and outside media influence. As the trial continues Monday, the focus will be on how much weight the jury gives to long-held stories now brought to light.
