SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Closing arguments are expected Friday in the trial of a Sioux City man accused of killing another man in the northwest Iowa community of Sloan. Defense and prosecution attorneys rested their cases Thursday in Timothy Schroeder’s trial. He’s charged with first-degree murder and related crimes in the Jan. 9, 2015, shooting death of 29-year-old Dustin Wilder at Wilder’s home.
The defense moved for acquittal on all charges Thursday, saying there wasn’t enough evidence to convict Schroeder. But Judge Jeffery Neary denied the motion.
