No Body. No Lawyer. The Tomasz Kosowski Murder Trial | Part 2

Plastic surgeon Tomasz Kosowski was accused of murdering attorney Steven Cozzi, whose body has never been found. Then Kosowski made an extraordinary decision: he would represent himself in his own first-degree murder trial.

There is no body. No autopsy. No eyewitness to Steven's killing. And no definitively identified murder weapon.

So how do you prove a murder happened at all?

In Part 2 of the Tomasz Kosowski case, we follow the forensic trail prosecutors say connects Steven's blood from the law-firm bathroom to Kosowski's truck, garage and car — and the digital evidence they used to reconstruct where Kosowski went after Steven disappeared.

Then the trial gets even stranger.

Kosowski cross-examines the state's experts, asks a prosecutor to get inside a trash bag, tries to stage a courtroom demonstration involving a roughly 190-pound person in a cart, presents no defense case — and ultimately argues his own innocence directly to the judge.

And then Judge Joseph Bulone delivers his verdict.

How do you prove a murder without a body — and what happens when the man accused of committing it decides to become his own lawyer?
