Wichita ? Jury deliberations will resume today in the capital murder case against a Newton man accused of killing a Harvey County deputy sheriff and injuring another officer.

Gregory Moore is charged with one count of capital murder, four counts of attempted capital murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and one count of criminal possession of a firearm in the shootout following a domestic violence call in April 2005 at his home. Harvey County Deputy Kurt Ford was killed and Hesston Police Detective Chris Eilert wounded when they stormed the home.

The case was moved to Wichita for trial before Sedgwick County District Judge David Kennedy because the judges in Harvey County knew Ford.

Stephen Maxwell, the assistant attorney general prosecuting the case, told jurors in closing arguments Tuesday that the shooting was “no mistake, no accident – it was intentional.”

“He pointed the gun at the officers and fired at them,” Maxwell said during closing arguments.

Maxwell also pointed to testimony that Moore had told a friend he “blasted” the officers. He said Alveda Sparks, who lived with the defendant, testified that Moore said he wouldn’t go back to jail and that there was going to be a bloodbath.

And, Maxwell said, 11 rifles and two handguns were in the home.

Moore’s attorney, Gary Owens, said his client’s state of mind was at issue. He said the shooting was neither planned nor premeditated and that his client was not acting rationally.

“He did not intend to kill him. It was a pure reaction to what was going on at that time,” Owens said.

He also described Ford as a good man: “It is a tragedy he is dead. It is not fair.”

All the officers who responded to the scene behaved heroically, but Sparks had escaped from the house so police were no longer on a rescue mission when they stormed into the house, Owens said.

“We aren’t asking you to let Greg off,” Owens said, requesting that they not convict him of capital murder.

Moore could be sentenced to death if convicted of capital murder.

Owens asked jurors to consider that Moore’s behavior and slurred speech was an indication he was intoxicated or high on meth. But Maxwell told them there was no evidence presented at trial to support those assertions.

Earlier in the trial, testimony showed Sparks’ daughter had made a frantic 911 call in which she told a dispatcher Moore was holding her mother against her will. “My mom is in there. He has gone crazy. He wouldn’t let my mom leave,” the teen said in a 911 tape played to jurors.
