BOISE -- The defense team for Daniel Ehrlick began presenting its case today on day 25 his trial.
Ehrlick is charged with murdering 8-year-old Robert Manwill.
On Tuesday, the prosecution rested its case after 24 days.
Ehrlick's attorneys called six witnesses Thursday, the first three testified to seeing Robert the day he was reported missing.
The first two witnesses, both in their teens, claim they saw Robert in the pool and the park near the pool in the morning and afternoon of July 24, 2009.
The witnesses said they were positive they saw Robert, but when prosecutors cross examined them, their testimony today differed from the written statements they provided in 2009 when Robert first disappeared.
Another point brought up several times was the length of Robert's hair on the day he went missing.
The witnesses say it was closer to the length it was in the pictures police used to identify him, but a picture taken of Robert's hair at the time of the autopsy shows a very different length.
Another witness talked about hearing someone yelling for Robert when he was reported missing.
"Just this guy, kind of looking around, calling his name, but he didn't really seem of any concern," said Jennifer Hastings who lived in same complex as Robert.
"Is that Mr. Ehrlick that's sitting over here at the defendant's table?" asked the prosecutor.
"Yes," replied Hastings.
We also heard from a woman who lived beneath where Robert lived, but moved out the Monday before Robert went missing.
She told the jury that she never heard fighting coming from the apartment above.
She also said that she saw Robert just about everyday and almost always with his dog.
Because of that she never believed that someone took him, because the dog was always there.
The judge estimates the jury will begin deliberating in about a week.
