Prince George, B.C.- Jurors return to Courtroom 104  at the Prince George courthouse today for the last  set of instructions before they  begin deliberations in the  multiple first degree murder trial of Cody Alan Legebokoff.

He stands accused of murdering Jill Stacy Stuchenko, Natasha Lyn Montgomery, Cynthia Maas and Loren Donn Leslie.

The Crown  has  presented a case saying there was a modus operandi, a scheme, whereby  Cody Alan Legebokoff selected vulnerable women,  sexually assaulted them  or attempted to,  and killed them.  In the case of  Ms. Stuchenko, Ms. Maas and Ms. Montgomery all three were  sex trade workers with drug habits.  In the case of Ms. Leslie,  she was a  15 year old  with mental health issues.

According to Crown, the first three murders  show a pattern of progression. Jill Stuchenko was partially buried in a gravel pit,  the  Crown then alleges the accused then  decided to kill and dismember  in his own apartment because it would be easier to dispose of a body,  and finally moved to  a scenario where  the  women were taken to a site  where they were killed and left behind.

Crown presented 93 witnesses and more  than 100 pieces of evidence over  the  near three months  of trial.

Justice Parrett  advised the jurors they may  find some of the testimony from those witnesses problematic, as some are inconsistent with other evidence. Throughout  his instructions, Justice Parrett reminded the jurors, they are the judges of the evidence,  and  they shall decide which  evidence, or portions thereof, to accept as valid, and  to decide  how much weight should be given to  such  evidence.

The Defense presented just one witness, Cody Alan Legebokoff, who  told the court  he was an accessory to three of the killings, but the real  murderers were Mr X Y and Z and in the case of Loren Leslie, she  had  beaten herself in the head  with a pipe wrench, then stabbed herself in the throat.  He admitted hitting her  on the head with the pipe wrench  because he was angry  at the way things had turned out.

But Justice Parrett reminded the Jury that  just because the Crown presented  so many more witnesses, that is  not  a reason to find Legebokoff guilty, court cases  are not about score cards.  The only measure  for  guilt is  if the jury is convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the perpetrator was Cody Alan Legebokoff.
