HTN: Closing Arguments Coming in Kalinowski Case

The defense for Robin Kalinowski, accused of killing her husband, rested Tuesday without calling any witnesses. Kalinowski is accused of shooting her husband Kevin in their bedroom in November of 2005. Prosecutors called a forensic firearms expert to the stand yesterday, who testified his examination of the rifle used to kill Kevin had no defects that would have caused it to fire unexpectedly. Kalinowski maintains she had been moving the rifle off the bed in their dark bedroom when it went off, so the shooting was an accident. She took the stand in her own defense during her first trial, which ended in a mistrial. Attorneys will make their closing statements this morning, then, the case will go to the jury.
