Closing arguments were made in Cayuga County Court Wednesday during the trial of a Sodus man who is accused of promoting prostitution and robbing migrant workers in Cayuga County.
During his argument, attorney Samuel Tamburo said his defendant, Clarence Brown, 56, who is charged with robbery, two counts of burglary, promoting prostitution and unlawful imprisonment, was the only witness whose testimony made sense.
Brown is accused of robbing Mynor Vasquez and Juan Lopez in two separate incidents on December 31, 2005. District Attorney Jon Budelmann said it was alleged that Brown sold the victims prostitutes and then robbed them of CDs, DVDs, a cell phone, money and electronic equipment.
The trial was adjourned until Friday, when jurors will receive their instructions and begin deliberations.
