The defendant, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, isn't contesting that he committed the killings; the trial focuses instead on his mental state during the attack.
Alissa's defense hinges on his insanity plea, with jurors tasked with determining whether he should face life in prison or be confined in a mental institution.
Witnesses have described how the shooting transformed an ordinary grocery shopping day into a scene of horror, claiming the lives of ten individuals, including a police officer.
Testimony indicated that Alissa had bought firearms with the intention of carrying out a mass shooting, borne out of a distorted mental state linked to his schizophrenia.
