Closing arguments in Deal murder trial segment at Fort Stockton
Prosecutor Marcus Hemphill urged a 10 woman jury to see a jigsaw puzzle of evidence pointing to Alpine geologist Dwight Deal as the killer of his wife Sandra. He placed timing from 10:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on October 10, 1983, with blood stains and a Dumpster finding cited as key pieces. Defense witnesses, including Dr Bart Pate and psychologist Richard Walker, questioned Deal's intent and psychological state while blood analysis and witness testimony framed the defense.

Only $500,000 of the $3 million bond is set for Culver House Juvenile Center, with costs likely requiring more bonds or tax increases.
