CHESAPEAKE -- Jury deliberations were expected to begin Tuesday in the Ryan Frederick murder trial.
The prosection wrapped up its closing argument Monday afternoon, ending by showing the jury a close-up of Det. Jarrod Shivers' face after the January 2008 shooting.
The defense then made its final case, arguing Frederick didn't know an officer was at his door on that night.
Frederick's charged with capital murder in Shivers' death.
The judge Monday gave given the jury six options to weigh in the case -- capital murder, first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter and acquittal.
Police say Shivers and other officers were serving a warrant to investigate a reported marijuana grow operation at Frederick's Redstart Avenue home.
Frederick says he opened fire not knowing police were at the door. He says he believed intruders had returned after breaking into his home several days earlier.
Judge gave six different charge, only goes to prove how desperate they are to convict this man for the mistakes made my the whole damn Chesapeake Pd, that only choice is an Acquittal..
