Brian Walshe will not take the stand in his murder trial.

“I will not testify,” Walshe told the judge Thursday morning.

The defense rested without putting on any evidence.

Prosecutors in Massachusetts rested their case on Wednesday, after calling about 50 witnesses across eight days of testimony.

Unbeknownst to the jury, Walshe has pleaded guilty to illegally disposing of her body and misleading police. Still, he insists he did not kill his wife, Ana Walshe, a real estate manager and mother of three, but instead found her inexplicably dead in their bed the morning of January 1, 2023.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
