Sandeson trial

The lawyer for William Sandeson gave his closing arguments to the jury yesterday at the first degree murder trial saying his client is not a criminal mastermind. Eugene Tan agreed there was a violent incident in Sandeson’s apartment the night Taylor Samson disappeared but that other people were there. He said there is lots of reasonable doubt and that the prosecution ignored or downplayed evidence that didn’t fit its theory of what happened.

The Crown will deliver its closing arguments today and the jury is expected to begin deliberations Thursday.

Four people are in custody after a home invasion early this morning.

Two masked men forced their way into a residence on Acadia Street shortly before 2:00am…one of them armed with a knife. The resident was treated in hospital for minor injuries and released.

The suspects fled in a waiting car which was stopped a short time later and four people taken intoi custody. No word on charges.
