CENTENNIAL, Colo.—Lawyers are expected to make their closing arguments Friday in the trial of a man accused of killing two people, including a witness who was scheduled to testify against him.
Sir Mario Owens could face the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder in the June 2005 shooting deaths of Javad Marshall-Fields and Vivian Wolfe.
Each side will have 2 1/2 hours to make final arguments before jury deliberations begin.
Closings had been expected to start Thursday but the judge pushed them back because of the amount of time required.
Marshall-Fields was to testify against Owens and another man in a separate shooting death. Owens was eventually convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison in that case.
Wolfe was Marshall-Fields’ fiancee.
