Trial of Ex-Oklahoma Volunteer Deputy Ends, Jury to Get Case
Source: Associated Press
The second-degree manslaughter trial of a former Oklahoma volunteer deputy charged with killing an unarmed man is set for closing arguments and jury deliberations starting Wednesday.
Prosecutors and the defense wrapped up their cases Tuesday in the trial of Robert Bates, who has pleaded not guilty to the charge in the April 2015 death of Eric Harris, by offering competing views on Harris' cause of death.
Trauma Dr. Mark Brandenburg testified for the defense that Harris suffered a heart attack caused by elevated adrenaline and a high level of methamphetamine in his system when he was shot.
Brandenburg said the medical examiner's opinion that Harris Bled to death is "absolutely untrue."
