One week after Police Prosecutor, Shawn Gonsalves, closed its case against a Corentyne, Berbice pensioner, who is charged with causing the death of another man, his lawyer will make closing arguments in the case on July 27.
Sixty-seven-year-old Cromwell McDonald was charged with causing death by dangerous driving.
