DENVER - Attorneys have finished their closing arguments in the trial of Willie Clark, the man charged with first-degree murder in the death of Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams.
It's not clear whether jurors will begin deliberating Tuesday night or wait until Wednesday.
Chief Deputy District Attorney Timothy Twining says Clark flew into a murderous rage after a confrontation and later told friends he fired the fatal shots.
Clark's attorney, Abraham Hutt, says Clark is a scapegoat and is being framed by associates.
Williams and some friends were in a limousine when he was shot on New Year's Day 2007. They had just left a nightclub where prosecutors say Williams' group got into an altercation with a group that included Clark, a suspected gang member.
