 HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) - The lawyer for a Florida man who claims he's too fat to have killed his former son-in-law told jurors Wednesday that all they have to do is look at his client to see that he's obese, old and in no condition to have committed such a murder.
Prosecutors agreed that Edward Ates is far from fit but said he's still capable of methodically planning and carrying out the killing of Paul Duncsak.
"He's not running a marathon. I'll agree he probably can't do that," Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Wayne Mello told the jury during closing arguments. "What he can do is execute his son-in-law."
