BOSTON (AP) - Testimony has ended in the kidnapping trial of the man who calls himself Clark Rockefeller.

The final witness Thursday was psychiatrist Dr. James Chu. He says he believes Rockefeller exaggerated his symptoms and was not insane when he kidnapped his 7-year-old daughter.

Chu was called by prosecutors to rebut the testimony of two defense mental health experts who said Rockefeller suffers from mental disorders and was legally insane when he took his daughter last July. Chu said the defendant was not suffering from delusions and knew it was wrong to take his daughter.

Rockefeller's real name is Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. Prosecutors say he is con man.

Jurors are expected to hear closing arguments and to begin deliberating the case Monday.
