Sweat Lodge Trial: Images

The snorting sounds Melissa Phillips heard from a woman inside a sweat lodge ceremony had her concerned. Then she saw the woman rocking back and forth while encouraging dozens of others to endure the sweltering heat. Phillips testified Wednesday that she yelled out several times for someone to help Kirby Brown but she got a response that "she's fine." Defense attorneys say the words of encouragement from Brown were so loud that she was asked to quiet down -- and were a sign that she was in no real danger.
