She also said peter told her on one occasion that he lied about Patricia swerving to avoid a deer, and said she purposely drove into Guilford Lake.

The defensed asked for a dismissal from Judge Joseph Cawley, but the motion was denied. Closing arguments are today in Chenango County court in Norwich.
