(AP) Fort Collins, Colo. — The Fort Collins jury in the sexual assault trial of a former Roman Catholic priest has been given the weekend off after getting the case.
The prosecution completed its case against Timothy Joseph Evans, who is accused of alleged sexual abuse of parishioners, on Friday.
A second man who says he was molested by Evans testified about the alleged abuse Thursday. He was the final prosecution witness.

The first accuser testified Tuesday.
On Wednesday, Monsignor Thomas Fryar, the priest in charge of the Catholic Church's Denver central offices, said he reported three incidents of alleged misconduct by Evans against minors between March 2003 and April 2004 to the Arvada, Lakewood and Fort Collins police departments.
Evans' lawyer says the allegations are false and the result of anger.
In April, Evans will face similar charges in Jefferson County in a separate case.
He was removed from parish ministry in 2002, and his priestly faculties were removed in 2003.
