Will you be doing the tweets? If not, let me know "link" and I'll try & get them on here. TIA!

No, it's usually a news reporter stationed in the court room live tweeting, right now it's opening statements & Sharon Carrillo is visibly distraught. If you have Twitter, subscribe to NewsCenterMaine.

“Marissa had multiple old and new injuries to her arms. To her legs. To her feet,” Macomber says. “10-year-old Marissa Kennedy was beaten to death over a period of months.” Sharon’s cries are loud now #NEWSCENTERmaine

“Sharon said that at the end Marissa couldn’t walk and her speech was slurred. But Sharon said, Marissa’s own mother thought she was faking so she beat her again.” Macomber says of an interview with Maine State Police

Now it's the defense's opening statements:

“This evidence is the most sad evidence anyone could ever hear in a courtroom in the state of Maine,” McLean says to the jury #NEWSCENTERmaine

“You’re going to hear a lot of bizarre things in this trial,” McLean says as he tells the jury they are going to have to “connect the dots” in this case #NEWSCENTERmaine

What has happened so far in Sharon Carrillo’s murder trial for the death of her daughter

Taped confession details how Sharon Carrillo and husband abused daughter before death
BELFAST, Maine — The last few days of Marissa Kennedy’s life were unspeakably difficult, with no relief from the continual beatings that had been inflicted on the 10-year-old for about three months. Her body failing, she could no longer walk or talk — or even go to the bathroom by herself. But her mother and stepfather thought she was faking, and still hit her with a belt.

And when a social worker paid the family a visit about 48 hours before Kennedy died, Sharon Carrillo and husband Julio Carrillo staged a scene so that the visitor would believe the situation in the home to be normal.

They did not want to get in trouble.
