Matusiewicz Case Expected to Go to Jury Today

It should be up to the jury in the Matusiewicz trial today.

David Matusiewicz, his mother Lenore and his sister Amy Gonzalez are charged with cyberstalking and conspiracy in the death of David’s wife Christine Belford.

She was shot to death along with her friend by David’s father Thomas Matusiewicz in a Delaware courthouse.

Federal prosecutors called on the jury to consider whether the shooting was foreseeable by the family.

Meanwhile, defense attorneys argued that the shooting was a separate independent act and that the father kept his plans from the family.

After killing Belford Thomas Matusiewicz exchanged gun fire with courthouse security before taking his own life.
