COEUR d’ALENE — Closing arguments and jury deliberations are scheduled for Thursday morning in the Rathdrum Mountain wolf-shooter case.

Kootenai County prosecutors and Mize’s defense lawyer, Michael Palmer, got bogged down late Tuesday as they tried to agree on a set of jury instructions. That process prevented the trial from concluding in its first day.
