ANGLETON, Texas (AP) — A Southeast Texas jury is to hear closing arguments in the trial of a Texas father accused of fatally shooting a drunken driver who killed his two sons in a crash.
The Brazoria County jury will hear arguments Wednesday before deliberating the murder case of David Barajas (bah-RAH’-hahs). Both sides rested their cases Tuesday in a state district court in Angleton, with the defense calling just three witnesses.
