A Providence Superior Court jury is set to begin deliberations today in the trial of a 21-year-old charged in the murder of a teenager more than 3 years ago.

Marquise Jones faces charges in the death of Brian Davis, who was 17 at the time of his death.

Yesterday, the focus of the trial was video games. Jones said he was playing games the night of the murder, but rebuttal witnesses -- including Richard Suls, network administrator and Webmaster for the state's attorney general -- questioned whether the game system Jones said he used was even available at the time of the murder: Dec. 7, 2004.

Jones, of Providence, is charged with murder and four other counts -- a sixth count was dismissed by the prosecution. He allegedly drove a stolen car from which shots were fired into another car on a Route 95 Exit ramp. The shots fatally wounded Davis.
