Jury Gets Case Of Man Accused Of Raping, Murdering Lakewood Attorney
LAKEWOOD, Colo. (CBS4) - Jury deliberations are underway in the case of a man accused of raping and killing an attorney.
Prosecutors say Warren Watson killed 61-year-old Claudia Miller in her office in Lakewood back in March of 2013. A cleaning crew found her body in a storage room.
Watson testified in his own defense before lawyers delivered closing arguments.
The case was handed to the jurors Wednesday afternoon.
A CBS4 investigation into Miller's murder found that before the murder Colorado's parole board had released Watson from prison several years early, terming him a "low risk" for recidivism. But the CBS4 probe found that Watson had a long history of escaping from parole situations.
