Prosecutors and defense attorneys have rested their cases at former Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s criminal trial for his disobedience of a court order to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.
The lawyers now are scheduled to make closing arguments on July 6.
The 85-year-old Arpaio is a former six-term sheriff of metro Phoenix.
He faces a misdemeanor contempt-of-court charge for prolonging his immigration patrols for 17 months after a judge in a racial profiling case had ordered them stopped.
Arpaio has acknowledged prolonging the patrols, but insists his disobedience was unintentional. He didn’t testify in his own defense.
