The defense and prosecution have both rested their case in the trial of John Marvin, Jr. who is accused of causing the deaths of Hoonah police officers Matthew Tokuoka and Sgt. Anthony Wallace on August 28, 2010. Closing arguments are planned for Thursday afternoon. District Attorney Dave Brower wrapped up with presentation of evidence and witnesses on Wednesday. Public defender Eric Hedland moved for a judgement of acquittal and a change of venue. But both motions were denied by Sitka Superior Court Judge David George. He’s presiding over the trial that’s being held at Juneau’s Dimond Courthouse.
