BANGOR, Maine (AP) Jurors have begun deliberations in the trial of a Maine man who acknowledged shooting his sister-in-law 10 times.
The prosecutor told jurors Monday there’s no question who killed Renee Henneberry Clark. But defense contends the circumstances leading up to the shooting support a charge of manslaughter, not murder, against Philip Clark.
Deliberations began Monday afternoon.
Philip Clark told police he snapped because the victim pushed “every frigging button.” Henneberry Clark had a protection order against her estranged husband, and a criminal trespass order against his brother, Philip Clark.
The shooting, in July 2018, happened hours after a confrontation over Clark’s tools being removed and taken to Henneberry Clark’s home.
