MANDAN, N.D. (AP) _ Jurors will soon be deciding the fate of a

man accused of driving drunk in Mandan and causing the deaths of

three of his friends in a crash a year ago.

Prosecutors and the defense have rested their cases in the manslaughter trial.

Attorneys on both sides are to give closing arguments to the jury

on Wednesday morning.

Authorities allege that 24-year-old Taylor Berhow had a

blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit for

driving when he crashed into a tree on Oct. 29, 2011, killing

21-year-olds Charles Boehm and Trevor Erie and 22-year-old Eastmen

Nadeau.

Berhow pleaded guilty in January but withdrew the plea when a

judge rejected a plea deal that called for a five-year prison term.
