The prosecution rested Wednesday in the trial of a former Amtrak train conductor charged in the deadly 2015 derailment in the Frankford section of Philadelphia.
Defense Attorney Robert Goggin confidently spoke before starting his defense of Brian Bostian, claiming his team will "destroy the prosecution's case."
"The call" Goggin spoke about details an attack on another Amtrak train that was placed before the derailment. The prosecution has claimed that the call was made after Bostian sped around the Frankford curve at 106 MPH - twice the allowable speed - and flipped the train. The trial began Thursday for Brandon Bostian, the Amtrak engineer charged in a deadly high-speed derailment that occurred back in 2015 in Philadelphia.
Prosecutors for the Pennsylvania Attorney General alleged Bostian was "grossly negligent" and therefore guilty of criminal offenses.
