Closing argument: defense
Defense attorney Joseph Schenk said that the prosecution’s conclusion that Curtis Wayne King killed Garland Thomas Glass Jr. overlooks its own evidence.
Schenk said other people fired weapons that night, including one of other gunshot victims.
“Was he shooting a .357 magnum revolver?“ Schenk asked the jury. “Could be. Was he shooting a .38? That’s possible, too.“
A forensic scientist said the bullet found in Glass could have been fired by a .38 or .357.
Schenk aslo said that more shots were fired than King’s revolver held.
Evidence of bullet holes wasn’t consistent with where King said he was standing during the shooting, Schenk added.
Schenk also said that King lied in his first trial. But he contacted police after his sentencing to tell the truth.
“This is not a simple case,“ Schenk said.
