On Tuesday, the court heard testimonies from doctors who said meth, which McDowell smoked before killing Deputy Joshua Moyers, attributed to his death
NASSAU COUNTY, Fla — The defense rested their case Wednesday morning in the penalty phase of the death penalty trial for a man who murdered a Nassau County Sheriff's deputy.
Matto testified as doctors did Tuesday, that he believes PTSD had a"casual connection" to Moyers's shooting. "It’s another example of something that was factually incorrect, in my opinion," Matto responded."It wasn’t ‘him or me,’ despite Patrick’s view. There wasn’t going to be a consequence in which either Deputy Moyers or Mr. McDowell had to die.”
The judge expects closing arguments to take place Thursday. The case will then go to the jury to decide whether McDowell lives.
