FAYETTEVILLE – Closing arguments are expected to begin Thursday in the trial of Abdullah Shareef.

He's accused of running over five people and killing one of them between Fayetteville and Fuquay Varina in 2004.

The prosecution called its final witness Wednesday, and the defense wrapped up its case Tuesday.

Over the last three weeks, jurors have heard testimony from a wide array of witnesses, from victims of the driving rampage who still suffer physical disabilities to a psychiatrist who says Shareef will never be cured of his schizophrenia.

Wednesday, jurors heard final testimony from a woman who worked at the Salvation Army where Shareef stayed in the week leading up to the driving rampage. The witness told the jury she saw a dramatic change in Shareef's disposition over those days.

"My initial impression of Mr. Shareef was well mannered, nice dressed, clean cut, clean shaved, kind of sociable," witness Dajuana Amerson said. "Around the 12th, when I spoke with him he seemed distant, not really responsive."

Closing arguments begin Thursday morning and the case is expected to be handed over to the jury by Thursday afternoon.

Shareef has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. He could face the death penalty if found guilty.
