The state concluded its case Tuesday against Jeffrey Hubbard, an Atlanta man accused of homicide in the boating death of 11-year-old Kile Glover. The state’s final witness was Marsha Glover, the stepmother of Kile, and an eyewitness aboard the pontoon boat in the moments before the crash between Hubbard’s personal watercraft and the kids on a tube, attached to the pontoon by a ski rope. “I saw Jeff coming in as if he was coming directly towards the boat,” Glover said.
