Day 9 of the Larry Millete murder trial began with a heated 40-minute debate between prosecution and defense over questioning limits. Judge Camarena reaffirmed his ruling on third-party culpability, barring the defense from blaming another person.

The lead investigator is set to return to the stand. Key facts: - Defense attorney Colby Ryan argued they are questioning the investigation, not pointing fingers.

- Deputy DA Christy Bowles said there is no evidence linking Maya's alleged affair partner to the crime. - Judge Camarena expressed frustration, saying the matter had been discussed enough.

- The jury was expected to be brought in around 10 a.m. after a break.

The trial continues in Fresno County.
