The prosecutors in the Denny Ross case are expected to have their closing arguments next week.

News Channel 5 reports more than 60 witnesses testified in the retrial of Ross, who is accused of murdering 18-year old Hannah Hill.

The TV station says Michael Riley took the witness stand Wednesday afternoon.

He told jurors he was friends with Ross, and the two smoked pot, drank beer, and played video games many times at  Ross' apartment in Springfield Township.

Riley testified he and Ross got into two fights.  In the second fight, Riley said he broke Ross's arm. During the first trial in 1999,  he appeared in court with his left arm in a cast.

It's uncertain whether the prosecution will argue material from Ross's cast was present on Hannah Hill at the crime scene.

Hill was found strangled and stuffed in the trunk of her gold Geo Prism in Ellet approximately a week after she was reported missing.
