“A monster.” “A Jekyll and Hyde.” “A liar.” “A manipulator.” “A predator.”
Nevada County Deputy District Attorney Helenaz Hill used those words Tuesday when delivering her closing argument against 54-year-old Brian Hoobler, who is facing life in prison if convicted on allegations that he repeatedly sexually assaulted a juvenile over a period of almost 10 years.
As attorneys for both sides in the case gave their closing arguments Tuesday, Hill laid out the prosecution’s case against Hoobler, arguing to jurors that witness testimony, including testimony by the alleged victim herself, pointed overwhelmingly toward guilt.
Hoobler’s attorney, Deputy Public Defender Thomas Angell, argued that there were key inconsistencies in the documented statements that the victim had made to investigators, after she had first decided to report Hoobler’s actions to police in 2020.
