His defense team began by attacking inconsistencies in prosecution witnesses' stories.
Earlier in the day, State Police Investigator T. S. (suh-VARD) Svard told jurors that Thomas denied killing Tara Munsey .. even before investigators told him she was dead.
Judge Colin Gibb dropped a rape charge against Thomas, saying there was only enough evidence to try Thomas for ATTEMPTED rape.
Thomas would still be eligible for the death penalty if he is convicted on the capital murder charge.
