Description: Send us a textIn this emotionally harrowing episode, Sara - Juror #11 - walks us through Day 4 of the trial against Jason Chen — the day the jury came face to face with the most difficult evidence yet.Forensic expert Dr. Steven Cogswell takes the stand, leading the courtroom through the grim details of Jasmine Pace’s autopsy. Through X-rays, photographs, and expert testimony, the jury sees exactly how Jasmine was found — restrained, contorted inside a suitcase, and bearing the marks of 60 separate stab wounds.The evidence paints a chilling picture, not just of violence, but of deliberate cruelty. A broken knife blade lodged inside Jasmine’s lung. Blood evidence that suggests a desperate struggle. And hauntingly, the moment when Jasmine sent her mother a location pin — her final message — just minutes after a scream was heard from Jason Chen’s apartment.Sara also reflects on the weight of what it means to see these images firsthand, and how jurors’ own questions helped piece together a clearer but more devastating timeline.This is the day the reality of the case truly set in — and it’s a day no one in that courtroom will ever forget.Dateline NBC’s powerful episode “The Pin at Apartment 210” is now available to stream on Peacock.
