Closing arguments were set for Monday in the manslaughter trial of St. Anthony police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who killed Philando Castile during a traffic stop July 6 in a case that drew widespread attention after Castile's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, streamed the gruesome aftermath on Facebook. The jury was expected to begin considering the case later Monday after just five days of testimony, evidence and arguments. It's not clear which three members are the alternates, who will be dismissed after closing arguments. Five of the officer's seven shots struck Castile, who had a permit to carry the gun. Yanez testified that he clearly saw a gun and that Castile ignored his commands to stop pulling it out of his pocket.
