JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Closing arguments are being presented Friday in the trial of a woman accused of killing a Georgia woman in 2012 through illicit silicone buttocks injections.
The defense rested Friday without calling a witness. The prosecution had wrapped up its case. The jury could begin deliberations later Friday.
Tracey Lynn Garner is charged with depraved-heart murder in the death of Karima Gordon and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Authorities initially identified Garner as a man, Morris Garner, after the arrest. Her attorney has said Garner was born male and had sex reassignment surgery.
Prosecutors say Gordon and a friend were referred to Garner by Natasha Stewart, an adult entertainer known as Pebbelz Da Model, who was convicted of manslaughter last February in Garner's death and is serving a seven-year prison sentence.
