Jury at trial of alleged Quebec election shooter to return Wednesday
MONTREAL – Jurors at the trial of accused Quebec election killer Richard Henry Bain will return for a fifth day of deliberations Wednesday.
They ended their fourth day of discussions at the Montreal courthouse on Tuesday without emerging from their room.
Bain is charged with first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.
The charges relate to a shooting outside a nightclub where then-Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois was addressing party faithful after her election win on Sept. 4, 2012.
Bain has pleaded not guilty and has argued he should be found not criminally responsible by way of mental illness.
The Crown has said Bain was not ill and that his assault on the nightclub was premeditated, triggered by his anger over the PQ election victory.
The seven women and five men began deliberating Saturday.
