TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The month-long trial of the man accused of being the getaway driver in the Lakewood police killings could go to the jury Thursday in Tacoma.
The News Tribune reports Darcus Allen did not take the witness stand in his defense.
The 39-year-old is charged with four counts of aggravated murder. Prosecutors say he drove Maurice Clemmons to and from the Parkland coffee shop where Clemmons killed the four officers in November 2009.
Allen has said he didn’t know Clemmons intended to kill the officers.
The Pierce County prosecutor is not seeking the death penalty. If convicted, Allen would be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
