DENVER -- After three weeks of trial, testimony finished late Tuesday in the trial of former C.U. professor Ward Churchill.

Jurors will hear closing arguments Wednesday morning and then begin deliberations about whether he should get his job back.

Churchill was fired in the summer of 2007 after an investigative committee concluded that he was guilty of academic misconduct.

Churchill filed suit arguing the university built a phony case against him after learning that his controversial essay about Sept. 11 was considered protected speech.

In that essay he argued that the victims were the equivalent of low level Nazis who helped make the holocaust possible.

There were some fireworks on the last day of the trial.

Regent Steve Bosley angrily accused Churchill’s attorney David Lane of putting words in his mouth.

Bosley accused Churchill of “trying to poison the campus with anti-American rhetoric,” but said in the end Churchill got a fair hearing.
