(MOBILE, Ala.) March 18 - In court Wednesday, jurors heard testimony about the search for the missing children of Lam Luong.

Luong did not appear to raise his head toward the screen that showed images of his dead children, the rest of the courtroom was mesmirized and horrified. The images and video are too graphic to describe.

One juror covered her mouth and ran from the juror's box as soon as the judge called for a break.

J.J. Sprinkle, a duck hunter, found the first body, 3-month-old Danny, west of Bayou Le Batre. On the stand he said at first he was just in shock.

Scott Chaptom, with Mississippi Marine Forces, testified how he found Lindsay in January 2008.

"She was face down, and she was up on the bank," Chatom says. "She was an innocent child. There was no reason for this to happen."

A shrimper found Hannah near Venice, La., and the prosecution showed video he shot. He says he shot the video because he wanted a jury to see what he saw and feel how he felt.

The prosecution wrapped their case today, as did the defense. The jury could deliberate as soon as tomorrow.
