Closing arguments in the Anthony Robert Taglianetti murder trial are expected to take place this morning in Chautauqua County Court.
According to a published report, Public Defender Ned Barone and his defense team rested its case on Thursday. Closing arguments were going to be made on the same day, but Barone made an impassioned request to hold off on closing arguments until today, citing an enormous amount of evidence to review. Judge John Ward asked the jury to decide how to proceed, and Barone and his team was granted the request.
John Ward also told the jury that it will likely receive the case by noon today.
Taglianetti is accused of driving over 350 miles from his home in Virginia to shoot and kill Clymer School Superintendent Keith Reed, Jr. The prosecution claims Taglianetti committed the crime upon learning of an online affair between his wife and Reed.
