“At the very end, even if he didn’t specifically intend for Monique to die, his plan meant she would be abducted, traumatized, probably injured and her children would watch their father die in front of them,” Starkey said at closing arguments. “This was personal. This is what a personal crime looks like.”
When Gad cross-examined Wiggins, she asked if he had any reason to harm Baugh.
Wiggins said he had three daughters and “I would never harm Monique Baugh.”
“Did you have any reason whatsoever to want to hurt Mr. Momoh?” Gad asked.
“No,” Wiggins answered.
The jury deliberations began Friday afternoon, but no verdict was reached so deliberations will continue Monday. Starkey, who has been working this case for nearly six years, showed the jury a photo of Baugh and the 28-year-old’s two daughters as the trial came to a close.
