The lawyer for the Brooklyn man accused of murdering Queens jogger Karina Vetrano said Monday that the victim’s father “corrupted” the crime scene by holding his daughter’s beaten and battered body after discovering her.

During closing arguments at the murder trial of 22-year-old Chanel Lewis in Queens Supreme Court, defense lawyer Robert Moeller said: “We can all agree that what happened to Ms. Vetrano was horrible … What is at issue here is whether the police arrested the person responsible for committing [the murder].”

“Every witness and piece of evidence [the prosecution] offered to you has had problems with reasonable doubt,” Moeller told jurors in the courtroom packed with Vetrano’s parents and dozens of her family members and friends, some wearing her favorite color, purple.

“Police rushed to judge the evidence and present the theory of their case,” he said.

“By assuming the person who did this was a lone male, important evidence was overlooked,” Moeller said.

The lawyer charged that Vetrano’s retired firefighter father, Philip, messed with the crime scene when he made the shocking discovery of his lifeless daughter on Aug. 2, 2016.

Philip Vetrano found his 30-year-old daughter’s body face-down among the weeds with her shorts pulled half off after she went out for a run and didn’t come home. She was found in Spring Creek Park near the family’s Howard Beach home.

In that moment, the distraught and wailing father cradled Vetrano’s body.

“At that point, the crime scene became corrupt,” Moeller said, adding, “You can’t blame Mr. Vetrano.”

Moeller argued that the evidence in the case is weak despite a chilling, videotaped confession from Lewis and the fact that his DNA was found on Vetrano’s cellphone, her neck and underneath her fingernails.

In the confession, Lewis claimed he got angry when she tried to fight him off.

“I was beating her and was mad at her,” Lewis says in the video.

Moeller argued that Lewis was coerced into the confession by investigators.

“The prosecution in this case has offered no evidence that Mr. Lewis had any knowledge of this case that wasn’t widely circulated,” Moeller said.

Referring to Lewis, Moeller continued: “Eventually, he broke down. He knew what they wanted to hear, and that’s what he did. He told them what they wanted to hear.”

He added: “Every turn in this case leaves you with more questions than answers … They want you to rush to judgment.”

But Assistant District Attorney Brad Leventhal argued in his closing statements that there is no doubt that Lewis beat, strangled and sexually abused Vetrano.

“[Lewis] went to the park — Spring Creek Park. It was that fateful day that he came across Karina Vetrano jogging,” Leventhal said. “He was angry, he was mad, and he took out his anger on Karina Vetrano, grabbing her, beating her, throwing her to the ground and strangling her until she was dead — his words.

“His DNA is on her phone. His DNA is on her neck. The DNA under her fingernails belongs to [Lewis] and Karina Vetrano,” Leventhal told the jury. “I promised you the evidence in this case would be overwhelming and I have kept that promise as well.”

Leventhal blasted Moeller for suggesting the DNA evidence linking Lewis to the crime is weak.

“Mr. Moeller would have you believe that the defendant’s DNA was just floating around,” the prosecutor said. “It’s preposterous, certainly not reasonable.”

Lewis, Leventhal said, is “the man whose hands were wrapped around [Karina Vetrano’s] neck, squeezing her neck, squeezing her throat, choking the life out of her body. He absolutely left something at the crime scene — his genetic fingerprint.”

The prosecutor said he didn’t need to prove motivation but offered up the theory that Lewis may have sexually abused Vetrano out of “sexual frustration,” though Lewis denies the sex-abuse allegations.

“He has no girlfriend, no job, no friends at all,” Leventhal said. “He sees her dressed in a sports bra on a hot August day…He takes the random opportunity to pounce on her.”

“The evidence shown at trial shows beyond any doubt, let alone reasonable doubt, that he’s a murderer. All the tap dancing in the world isn’t’ going to change that,” the prosecutor said.
