Jury deliberations are underway in the trial for Chris Williams, the 55 year old Waynesburg man charged with aggravated assault for the shooting of 17 year old Anthony Ward at the Regal Cinemas at the Washington Crown Center in March of 2019. The defense called on Williams’ wife and her friend that accompanied Williams to the movie that night. Testimony was emotional and contradictory to everything presented by the prosecution. Closing arguments were held after a lunch break. Defense attorney Alexander Lindsay indicated that the case was about two narratives. He stated that Williams’ recollection of the facts that he was the victim was true because of all of the emotion that filled his and his wife’s testimony. The teenagers involved could not be believed because they are “not like individuals that you and I know”. The prosecution countered in their closing argument stating that Williams’ behavior was completely unhinged and called the defense an “unmitigated disaster”. Deputy Assistant Attorney General Patrick Schulte described for jurors, line by line, of each charge how the prosecution’s witnesses presented evidence to convict Williams on each of the aggravated assault charges he faces. Jurors deliberated for four hours on Thursday. Deliberations resume at 9:00 am Friday.
