Three women who work at a hair care shop testified that they heard Kaarma say that same day that he had been waiting up nights to shoot an intruder. A college student at the shop said he also overheard Kaarma talk about shooting burglars but told defense attorneys he didn't believe Kaarma would actually shoot anyone.

Kaarma shot and killed Dede after being alerted by a motion detector in his garage, which was left partially open with a purse deliberately placed inside. Defense attorneys argue Montana's "stand your ground" law allows people to use deadly force when they believe they are going to be harmed.

Kaarma's girlfriend, Janelle Pflager, said in a 911 call played for jurors Friday that Dede was lying face down and "barely breathing" after Kaarma shot him. She said Kaarma did not help her as she tried to aid the mortally wounded student, who died a short time later at a Missoula hospital.

Jurors also heard audio tapes of Pflager talking with police after the shooting. She told officers that Dede had pleaded for his life, saying, "No, no, no, no, please!"

Missoula police officer Jacob Jones said he was among the first to arrive and said he asked Kaarma who shot the victim, to which Kaarma replied, "me."

Trial is scheduled to continue through Dec. 19.
