(NewsNation) — Closing arguments are expected to begin Thursday in the murder trial of Kaitlin Armstrong, who is accused of killing professional cyclist Anna Moriah “Mo” Wilson.

On Wednesday, the state and defense teams rested their case. According to NewsNation local affiliate KXAN, Judge Brenda Kennedy asked Armstrong if she wanted to testify, and she indicated she did not.

Kennedy told the jury closing arguments would begin the next day, and then they are set to begin their deliberations.

Wilson was found unconscious with gunshot wounds on May 11, 2022 at a friend’s home in Austin. So far, people who have testified include Colin Strickland, who had been in a brief romantic relationship while on a break with Armstrong, his on-again, off-again girlfriend. Strickland testified in the early days of the trial as well as Wednesday.

Prosecutors say Armstrong’s motive in killing Wilson was jealousy, but the defense has made the case that authorities were too quick to focus on her as the only suspect. The defense said, in its opening statements, that while surveillance video shows Armstrong’s Jeep at the scene of the crime, cameras didn’t catch her there. Witnesses brought in by the state, however, have testified Armstrong’s DNA was found on Wilson’s bike, and that projectiles found at the scene where Wilson died came from the Sig Sauer 9mm owned by Armstrong.
