CLOSING ARGUMENTS GET UNDERWAY THIS WEEK IN THE LEVI CHAVEZ MURDER TRIAL. THE FORMER APD OFFICER WAS ON TRIAL FOR THE SHOOTING DEATH OF HIS ESTRANGED WIFE, TERA, IN 2007 AT HER HOME IN LOS LUNAS. CLOSING ARGUMENTS WRAPPED LAST FRIDAY. PROSECUTORS SAY CHAVEZ KILLED HIS 26 YEAR OLD WIFE WHILE SHE SLEPT IN FRONT OF THE TV … THEN WENT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH A GIRLFRIEND.
CHAVEZ'S LAWYER SAYS TERA CHAVEZ COMMITTED SUICIDE BECAUSE OF A BAD MARRIAGE AND FAILED AFFAIR. CHAVEZ ALSO ADMITTED TO HAVING A STRING OF AFFAIRS, AND IGNORING HIS WIFE'S CALLS FOR HELP. BUT HE INSISTS HE DIDN'T KILL HER.
