Fritzl, 73, has pleaded guilty to incest with his daughter Elisabeth but denies murdering their newborn son and enslaving her in the windowless purpose-built cellar under his home where she was kept captive. The eight-person jury was to finish watching an 11-hour video statement from Elisabeth, now 42, Tuesday in which she described how she spent her life underground for 24 years. "The (recording) took some days and was indeed a very stressful experience for the victim," court spokesman Franz Cutka told a news conference. Jurors in the so-far largely closed-door trial had been offered counseling, he said. A video of one of Elisabeth's brothers was also played. "(Fritzl) watched the video recordings with great attention and care," Cutka said. The verdict should be read one day earlier than had been expected, he added. Fritzl entered court Tuesday hiding his face behind a blue file folder as he did Monday, the first day of the trial. But he let the folder briefly drop, allowing the first photographs of his haggard face in court. The retired engineer faces life in prison if he is found responsible for the death of a twin through neglect. The boy died shortly after being born in the cellar in 1996. Prosecutors said Fritzl repeatedly raped his daughter in front of the children marooned underground, using her as if she was his own property. He has pleaded "partially guilty" to rape. Fritzl's lawyer has said his client cared for the daughter and children he incarcerated "like a second family." "It is without doubt that some or most of his acts were monstrous," Fritzl's lawyer Rudolf Mayer told Austrian television Monday, describing his client as "very nervous" and "ashamed" before entering the court. Mayer said Fritzl had taken 19-year-old Kerstin, the eldest child born below ground, to hospital last April when she was seriously ill, a move which led to the discovery of the cellar. Continued...
