The jury in the case of a couple accused of cruelty to a child is expected to consider its verdict on Monday.
Four-year-old John Smith died from a brain haemorrhage and had 54 bruises, including three adult bite marks on his body.
His adoptive parents Simon and Michelle McWilliam, of Gardner Road, Fishersgate, Southwick, deny the charge and insist the boy self-harmed.
Judge Anthony Scott Gall will complete his summing up of the seven-week trial before asking the jury to retire.
