Family and close friends of Allison Moosehunter gathered in the courtroom on Thursday to hear the closing arguments after four weeks of trial for her accused killer, Ivan (Robbie) Martell.
Moosehunter, 28, was found dead in her apartment on March 4, 2020, in the 500 block of Geary Crescent, from strangulation and fatal stab wounds.
Martell, Moosehunter’s former boyfriend, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. The charges were upgraded to first-degree murder last year.
The judge-alone trial began on Feb. 27.
Defense lawyer Patrick McDougall stood before Justice Neil Robertson Thursday to close out his case and said it was a mistake for Martell to be the only suspect in the case.
He said it would be wrong to convict someone of a crime they did not commit.
“It would be a miscarriage of justice,” McDougall said in his argument.
