The Defense Rests in Death Penalty Case
Comments 0 | Recommend 0Testimony has ended in the death penalty trial against Rejon Taylor in U.S. District Court.
Taylor is accused in the murder of Guy Luke, an Atlanta businessman who was murdered in Collegedale, Tenn. in 2003.
Hamilton County Medical Examiner Frank King was the last person called to the stand by prosecuters. Dr. King testified about the autopsy he performed on Luke. Dr. King's analysis of the body determined Luke had been shot several times.
After King's testimony defense attorneys moved for an immediate dismissal of all charges against Taylor on the basis the government did not prove it's case. Judge
Curtis Collier did not dismiss the case.
The defense rested without putting any witnesses on the stand in Taylor's behalf.
Closing arguments are expected to begin Monday morning.
