Items of clothing from Cherish Perrywinkle and Donald Smith collected by Duval County Medical Examiner Dr. Valerie Rao are displayed as they were being entered into evidence

Rao also revealed that Cherish had attempted to fight back and managed to inflict an injury on Smith's penis after he allegedly attempted to force oral sex on her.

After Rao requested a break and the jury was led out of the courtroom, Smith's defense asked the judge to declare a mistrial, arguing that the medical examiner's emotional reaction on the stand could prejudice the jurors, reported News4Jax.

Judge Mallory Cooper denied the mistrial motion.

Also on Tuesday, State Attorney Melissa Nelson played for the jury secret recordings that were done in jail, and on which she said Smith could be heard bragging about his crime.

'She had a lot for a white girl,' the defendant could be heard telling another inmate on the tape, apparently referring to eight-year-old Cherish's buttocks.

After the prosecution rested its case, the defense said it will not be calling any witnesses and also rested.

Closing arguments will be presented on Wednesday, after which the case will go to the jury for deliberations.
