They insist Falater's fatal attack on his wife was premeditated. In Arizona, jurors are allowed to submit written questions to witnesses. One juror seemed to focus on defense claims that Falater was extremely sleep-deprived on the night of the incident because of stress at his job. This juror asked the defendant whether he considered himself a perfectionist. On the other hand, the question may have alluded to prosecution suggestions that marriage tension drove Falater to kill his wife.

You have to accept that. After Falater's testimony ended, prosecutors called Jacqueline Haek, a sleep technician who was involved in a study of Falater's sleep habits. Haek was called to undermine the previous testimony of defense expert, Dr. Janet Tatman, whom prosecutors accused of falsifying evidence. Doctors conducted a four-night study of Falater's sleep habits in November 1997 to discover how often he entered the deep sleep associated with sleepwalking. Through the testimony of his relatives, the defense has claimed that Falater has been a habitual sleepwalker since his teens.
