Mills later cursed defense attorney Richard O'Carroll when asked if Lake had tried earlier to borrow a gun. Mills began to cry and said he couldn't continue. The trial was recessed for the day.
Kepler testified in a previous trial that he fired because he saw Lake with a gun, although no weapon was found.
