Mattapan Murders Trial Winding Down

Defense lawyers have finished their closing arguments in the trial of two men accused of gunning down a toddler and three adults during a drug robbery in Mattapan in 2010

Prosecutors will also give closing statements on Tuesday. The case would then go to the jury.

The trial has lasted nearly a month and 48 witnesses have testified.

Those slain were Simba Martin, his girlfriend, Eyanna Flonory; her 2-year-old son, Amanihotep Smith; and Levaughn Washum-Garrison. Marcus Hurd survived.
