Testimony in the trial of a former Kansas lawman has wrapped up with the defendant denying he shot and killed his wife and set their house on fire to hide evidence.

Closing arguments are scheduled Monday in the first-degree murder trial of Brett Seacat for the death of Vashti Seacat. The judge on Friday denied a routine defense motion for acquittal, leaving the verdict to the jury.

Seacat testified over two days and was the last witness jurors heard in 12 days of testimony.

The former instructor at the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center showed jurors photos of burns and blisters on his feet and singed hair on his calves that he sustained during the April 2011 fire. He recounted how he scooped up his two young children and took them outside, then ran back in to try to pull out his wife’s body.
