Rocha is charged with first-degree murder in the 2022 death of North Kansas City Police Ofc. Daniel Vasquez. Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Zachary Thompson is pursuing the death penalty.

Rocha's defense team called various witnesses from a neuropsychologist to family members to the stand on Monday.
