Family and friends of both Burleigh and Hupperterz occupied the courtroom.
Prosecutors started by questioning a crime scene officer who went through the house and apartment of both Hupperterz and his roommate, Jack Miley. The officer testified to samples taken of blood splattered and smeared throughout the apartment.
The body of Jenna Burleigh, the 22-year-old victim, was taken to the Poconos, where crime scene officers found her beaten, stabbed, and strangled. It was on the property of Hupperterz's grandmother inside a blue bin.

The defense throughout the trial has contended that Miley was the real killer in this case. They say Hupperterz put her in the bin and brought her up to the Poconos, but that his roommate threw Burleigh downstairs from their apartment and stomped on her neck.
Family members of Burleigh began crying when a cop pulled out a T-shirt in court, which was found in the trash outside the apartment. The shirt adorned the words, "positive vibes only."
Burleigh was seen walking out of a bar with Hupperterz on surveillance video wearing that shirt.
Prosecutors, however, showed video of Miley leaving the bar by himself and walking into his apartment alone.
Miley testified Thursday that he went to the bar with Hupperterz, drank a lot, smoked some weed, but he went home by himself. Once returning to the apartment, Miley said he went to sleep in his front bedroom near the staircase of the two-floored apartment, with a fan turned on, close by. He said he never heard a physical fight going on or screams, which a neighbor in the building testified to hearing.
Miley told the court that he woke up at 1 in the afternoon the next day to Hupperterz cleaning up blood in the apartment.
Prosecutors also went through phone calls and texts messages Miley made through the night in question as well as the next day — when he met his sisters at his apartment before going to New York to visit family.
The defense will cross-examine Miley beginning Friday morning.
