Opening statements and testimony are set to begin today in the capital murder trial of Charles Merritt, accused of killing all four members of the McStay family in 2010. The McStays lived in San Diego County but their remains were found years later in shallow graves in San Bernardino County. The judge is allowing the trial to be televised.

Patrick Frazee is charged with the murder of his fiancee, Kelsey Berreth, 29, who disappeared in Colorado on Thanksgiving 2018. The couple has a toddler daughter. As of earlier this month, Berreth's body has not been found.

He also faces an earlier murder charge in Chicago. This is a hearing today. The trial is expected to start in the spring of 2019.
