In court on Tuesday testimony wrapped up and the jury began deliberations in the trail of Mark Cox.

Cox is on trial for the death of Latonya Huff.

Prosecutors say Cox robbed and killed Huff in October 2009 in her Oshtemo apartment.

After his arrest, Cox confessed in a written statement, but insisted Huff's death was an accident.

Cox said he talked to Huff for several hours, then when she gave him her PIN number he tied her up and went to take money out of her account from a nearby ATM. Cox says that when he returned to her apartment, Huff was dead.

Now the jury will decide if Cox is guilty of murder and home invasion. As soon as a verdict is reached Newschannel 3 will bring it to you.
