Day two of the murder trial for Guillermo Nieto lasted less than 45 minutes with two doctors taking the stand.

A forensic anthropology expert said he was given a bone by police to test for any DNA.

The jury listened to the doctor’s testimony as he described how he determined the bone fragment was human and female.

Nieto is accused of murdering and burying his wife Sheila Westphal then reburying her when he moved.

The trial continues Wednesday morning.
