MIAMI (CBSMiami) - Jurors were adjourned just after 4 p.m. Friday, in the trial of a man dubbed the "Facebook Killer."

Earlier, it began with an explosive start as Circuit Court Judge Yvonne Colodny admonished his defense team for bringing up last-minute evidence.

Medina shot and killed his 27-year old wife, Jennifer Alfonso, in their South Miami home on August 8th, 2013, while Alfonso's daughter was upstairs, according to police. He then posted a photograph of her body on Facebook, with a caption that read, in part: "I'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife."

Defense attorneys wanted jurors to see a blown-up photograph of a video the crime scene where Alfonso died. Part of the video shows a reflection of what the defense says is a knife in her hands. It's a claim that would bolster the defense team's version that Medina was a battered husband.

The judge ruled that she would allow the state time in the afternoon to review the photographs with their expert. Then, it would be determined if jurors will be allowed to see them.

"This has been a messy trial from the beginning," Judge Colodny told the parties, before jurors walked in.

Defense attorneys began Friday with a pre-recorded testimony from Alfonso's friend Kelly Harwood, who worked with her at Denny's. Alfonso had been text messaging her through Facebook, expressing how angry she was at Medina because he didn't wake her up at 1 a.m. to watch a movie with her. The defense said this was the moment when she realized she had lost her power over him.

Jurors were allowed to see a stream of text messages between the two of them that also included a text by Alfonso that said she wanted to rip his face off. In another text message, Alfonso wrote, "I need to calm down. I feel like I'm about to explode."

On Thursday, the defense called in their own expert to refute testimony from the Medical Examiner's Office.

Famed Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Baden, known for his work in the O.J. Simpson trial and Michael Brown investigation, testified that the angle of the gunshots indicates Alfonso was standing when the shooting began, not on her knees and cowering as deputy ME testified.

Medina faces life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder. Medina told police in a videotaped statement that he posted a photo of his dead wife on Facebook to tell family what happened and explain why.
