BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Prosecutors said they are getting close to wrapping up their case
against Dominique Smith, the man accused of brutally murdering a mother
and child and injuring another child at a park.
The prosecution expects to rest sometime Friday.
Defense
attorney Darryl Gold said he won't waste any time getting to Smith's
side of the case, but he's still undecided whether Dominique Smith
himself will testify.
Gold also said they will present their side
of the case after the prosecution calls their last witness. The
prosecution's last witness is expected to be the East Baton Rouge
Coroner's Office. They're expected to speak about the cause of death for
the victims.
This week, prosecutors presented emotional
testimony from witnesses, including the victim's young daughter and the
BREC park maintenance man who found the victims with their throats
sliced back in 2010.
