Closing arguments in the murder trial of Steven Downs took place in Fairbanks on Monday. Downs is charged with murder and sexual assault in the death of 20-year-old Sophie Sergie in 1993 on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska -
The prosecutor’s closing arguments on Monday detailed gruesome elements of the alleged rape and alleged intentional killing of Sergie. In the state of Alaska there is no requirement that murder must be premeditated, but it does have to be intentional and, according to the prosecution, Sergie’s death was intentional beyond a reasonable doubt.Due to the execution style of the shooting and stab wounds found on her face, prosecutors claim there is no way this could have been an accidental killing.
