Wednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 4:00 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The  inquest into the death of Gregory Matters  on Sept. 10 of 2012, is expected to  enter the jury deliberation stage  later today.

Independent Investigations  Office investigator Rob Stutt is to return to the stand  this morning, he is the last witness  scheduled to  testify. 

With cross examination of  the last witness  set for this morning, it is possible Coroner  Chico Newell could  deliver his instructions to the jury   by lunchtime.

The jury will then retire to make its determination on  when, where  and how Gregory John Matters died.

The jury  is also expected to make recommendations   that  are designed to prevent such a tragedy from  occurring in  the future.  It has already been suggested   a recommendation could be  that the RCMP  receive  more training in the use of  all  less lethal  options  available  to them.  

The jury cannot assess blame.
