Closing arguments are underway in the retrial of Edward Holley, the Orange County man accused of murdering 20-year-old Megan McDonald in 2003.

Prosecutors rested their case Tuesday. As in the first trial last year, Holley’s defense is not calling any witnesses.

The courtroom was packed Wednesday, with supporters on both sides present — including McDonald’s mother and sister. Holley also appeared to acknowledge family and friends seated behind him at the start of court.

Holley is charged with second-degree murder in the bludgeoning death of McDonald, whose body was found in a wooded area off a dirt path in the Town of Wallkill in March 2003.

His first trial ended in a mistrial last April after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

Jurors are expected to begin deliberations after closing arguments conclude.

Holley has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail without bail. If convicted, he faces 25 years to life in prison.
