Hightower trial could wrap today


AURORA | The trial of an Aurora man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend in 2007 at her Glendale apartment could end today or tomorrow. 

A spokeswoman for the Arapahoe County District Attorney's Office said today that prosecutors in the trial of Marcus Hightwoer expected to finish their case today. After that, Hightower's defense, which was expected to call two witnesses, was to start. 

Closing arguments were set for Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning in Arapahoe County District Court in Centennial. 

Hightower is accused of killing Abigail Robertson in December 2007. 

According to court records Hightower, who was 23 at the time of the killing, is charged with murder, burglary, robbery and weapons possession by a previous offender.

Hightower turned himself in to Aurora police minutes after Glendale police say he stabbed his ex-girlfriend at her apartment on South Dahlia Circle.

He has been held without bond in the Arapahoe County Jail since his arrest in December 2007.
