Summary:

Avram Mack was excused after cross, redirect, and brief recross; forensic psychologist Kirk Heilbrun then began testimony, and the session remained in progress at noon.

Body:

[VERIFIED FACT] Trial Day 19 resumed with prosecution rebuttal witness Dr. Avram Mack, who completed cross-examination, redirect, and brief recross before being excused at about 11:07 a.m. [SWORN TESTIMONY] After the morning recess, the Commonwealth called forensic psychologist Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, who was sworn and began direct examination shortly before noon. [VERIFIED FACT] The jury day and rebuttal remained in progress at the research cutoff, so this card does not present a complete witness list or final account of the day. [UNKNOWN] No verdict, mistrial, indefinite stay, or authoritative adjournment had occurred by cutoff.

Structured claims:
- [verified_fact] Dr. Avram Mack returned as a prosecution rebuttal witness, completed cross-examination and redirect, and stepped down at approximately 11:07 a.m. Eastern.

- [verified_fact] At the noon research cutoff, Heilbrun's direct examination, the Commonwealth's rebuttal, and Trial Day 19 remained in progress; the archive therefore does not describe the partial witness sequence as complete.
