The murder trial of a man accused of raping and killing an Alaska Native woman is filled with "minidramas," The Anchorage Daily News reports.

Witnesses for the state have waffled on the stand when asked to testify against their friend, Joshua Wade. Yesterday, one witness said he heard Wade saying that Della Brown was hard to kill. He was accused by the defense of being drunk on the stand.

Defense attorney Cindy Strout laid down "on the courtroom floor to play the corpse" in a re-enactment, the paper said.
