The jury heard closing arguments on Wednesday morning, with the prosecution calling Miu’s actions “absolutely senseless.”

“I’m not going to defend the actions of the boys who testified. It was cruel what they were calling Nicolae, they shouldn’t have been mocking him, calling him predator, raper,” said St. Croix County District Attorney Karl Anderson. “But what they did, did not justify what Nicolae did.”

As for the defense, they told jurors that this is a a case for self-defense.
