(10/03/06) MINEOLA - The prosecution rested its case Tuesday against the man charged with DWI and murder in a 2005 Meadowbrook Parkway collision that killed two.

Martin Heidgen stands accused of killing limo driver Stanley Rabinowitz, 62, and 7-year-old passenger Katie Flynn after allegedly driving his truck the wrong way on the parkway. Prosecutors rested their case after playing six seconds of footage from a camera placed on Rabinowitz?s dashboard. The video evoked audible gasps from the courtroom as the headlights reportedly from Heidgen?s truck shone brighter and closer with each passing moment. The prosecution maintains the defendant acted with depraved indifference as evidenced, they say, by his 0.28 blood alcohol level.

Heidgen?s attorney motioned once again to dismiss the murder charges. The lawyer says the trial all along has not been about what happened that night, but about an overstatement of the charges. He will call Heidgen?s mother to the stand as a character witness this week.
