      Wickland describes others going into the burning building. Found Sean Smith's lifeless body, couldn't find Stevens, decided to leave.

          Prosecution objected that some of what he knows is hearsay/irrelevant. Judge places some limits on what defense may elicit from him.

            On cross defense tried to plant seeds that maybe attack was an inside job. On redirect prosecution tried to quash doubts. Wickland excused.

                State Dept Security Agent Dave Ubben takes stand. He helped Wickland escape from Benghazi mission, then wounded in CIA annex mortar attack.

                    Judge wraps up for the day. Ubben's narrative has reached getting to the CIA annex but it's before the mortar attack. He'll pick up tmrw.
