He then wrapped the body in bed linens and drove with it to the emergency room at Palos Community Hospital.



Prosecutors contended Allan Kustok shot his wife while carrying on multiple extramarital affairs. The defense said Jeanie Kustok shot herself.



During closing arguments Tuesday morning, defense lawyer Rick Beuke attacked a prosecution case that he characterized as marred by sloppy investigators and lack of a motive for Kustok to have shot his wife of 34 years as she slept.



"What happened? Did they give you... One scintilla of evidence that helps you make sense of that?" Beuke asked jurors during closing arguments. "What drove him to become a crazed lunatic at five o'clock in the morning?"



Prosecutor Jennifer Gonzalez presented just that in her rebuttal, referring to testimony that Kustok and his wife had an idyllic marriage even as Allan Kustok carried on multiple affairs.



Several relatives, including Jeanie Kustok's friends and siblings, said they thought Allan Kustok would have done anything for his wife.



"I submit he would have done anything for her, including taking her life," Gonzalez said. "I submit to you that he killed her... So she didn't need to be humiliated about the double life he'd been leading."



Sarah Kustok's testimony about her parents' devotion to each other, the most emotional testimony of the four-week trial, Gonzalez discounted as well.



"Sarah Kustok is living in the past. She living at a time when her parents were in love," Gonzales said. "The defendant checked out of that life.



"He was done with Jeanie Kustok. He just didn't know how to cut the cord."
