Jurors got the case late Wednesday afternoon after Pima County prosecutor Tracy Miller said in her closing argument there was a "mountain of circumstantial evidence" in the case and "it is not a coincidence that all these pieces of the puzzle point directly to Christopher Clements." According to Miller, male DNA was found on hair samples taken from Gonzalez’s body and the match is good enough to say Clements cannot be excluded as the source.
