Fravel trial: closing arguments are now underway in Mankato in the 1st degree murder trial of Adam Fravel, accused of killing Madeline Kingsbury in Winona last year.

FRAVEL TRIAL: Prosecution finishes a 90 minute closing argument.. tells jurors Adam Fravel had the motive and the means to kill Maddi Kingsbury - that evidence and testimony showed history of manipulation and abuse...and the only one with opportunity to kill her in her home.

FRAVEL TRIAL: defense begins closing argument by going over why they believe law enforcement had tunnel vision, only focusing on Adam Fravel for Maddi Kingsbury's murder, ignoring anything that didn't fit that narrative.
