By KUAM NewsGuam - After more than three months of trial, a civil dispute between Umatac resident Debbie Quinata and Attorney David Lujan is finally in the hands of a jury. Closing arguments and jury instructions were presented today. Jurors were asked to review the evidence presented in the case as well as recall the testimony of each of the witnesses.
Lujan is suing Quinata alleging she and her husband blocked access to his property and encroached on his land without ever compensating him. Quinata filed a countersuit claiming emotional distress and medical problems as a direct result of Lujan's behavior. Both are seeking monetary damages.
Attorneys from both sides asked jurors to believe their client's testimony and review the evidence in the case. Deliberations will continue on Thursday.
