The prosecution and defense rested Wednesday in the retrial of Anne Marie Drago.

The Patchogue woman is accused of running over and killing anti-gang activist Evelyn Rodriguez during a 2018 argument in Brentwood.

Drago was convicted of criminally negligent homicide at her first trial, but a state appeals court tossed out the conviction, claiming that the prosecutor mischaracterized evidence and confused the jury.

Closing arguments in the case are expected to start Thursday.
