Aguilar allegedly dated Bravo's ex girlfriend, Erika Friman, which infuriated his friend and sparked an argument between the two.

During the prosecution, it was alleged that Bravo poisoned Aguilar before beating him up.

A video presented during the trial showed the defendant buying a shovel, sleeping pills, duct tape and bandages on the night of Aguilar's disappearance.

In the testimony of Friman, she said that she set-up the meeting of Bravo and Aguilar after Bravo threatened to kill himself.

Friman added that she did not tell her ex-boyfriend that she was now dating his friend.

 "I lied to him because he was at a very sensitive point in his life, I supposed," Friman said during her testimony. She added that telling Bravo that she was going out with a common friend might "throw him over the edge"

In a statement released by police investigators, it said that during the interrogation, Bravo admitted to meeting with Aguilar before the victim went missing.

Bravo said that they got into an altercation, but that he drove away afterwards.

The prosecutors concurred that when Bravo had driven away, Aguilar's body was already in the back of his car.

During the trial, most of the evidences were from Bravo's iPhone. It included a record of the phone's flashlight use between 11:31 to 12:01 a.m. on the day of Aguilar's disappearance.

Also included in the evidence is a record of Bravo asking Siri: "I need to hide my roommate."

Bravo was charged with murder on Sept. 28, 2012.

Aguilar was not instantly found, until 22 days later when hunters happened upon his body buried at a grave in a nearby forest.
