Dressed in a gray suit, Hupperterz looked on at his attorney through the statements, but stared straight ahead when Assistant District Attorney Jason Grennell got up to speak.
Grennell gave a passionate closing argument with the timeline of events they say proves it was Hupperterz who killed Burleigh — including surveillance video of the pair inside a campus bar that night, plus Hupperterz’s DNA found under Burleigh’s fingernails and throughout the alleged crime scene.
He also argued that Miley’s evidence was excluded from everything tested, including a boot found in Miley’s closet, with the defendant’s DNA on it.
He timed out three minutes, with his hands seemingly around an invisible neck, going through the stage, he said, it takes for a person to die — trying to hit home the idea it was premeditated first-degree murder.

Grennell also apologized to Miley, saying Hupperterz is a liar who tried to pull everyone he could into Burleigh's death — including his own grandmother, leaving Burleigh's body in her property in a blue storage bin.
A jury of seven men and five women will now decide Hupperterz’s fate.
