Prince George, B.C. – It was a long day for  the 8 men and  four women who  are  the jurors in the multiple murder trial of Cody Alan Legebokoff.courthouse

They started their deliberations on the four counts of first degree murder just before noon yesterday, and called it a night  just after 10 p.m.

This morning,  they will resume  their deliberations, and  hope to have answers to  questions they have posed to the court.

Court  was called into session for a couple of hours last night  to respond to  three questions  from the jury.  The jurors asked for clarification on a point of law concerning sexual assault,  access to  the Crown’s  address to the jury as  well  as access to   the testimony of Cody Alan Legebokoff.

Justice Glen Parrett  called upon the jury to be more specific on  the  request for testimony as he  outlined  the subject they were seeking was  discussed  in direct and cross examination.

He told the jurors he hoped to  offer more clarity this morning on their  question about  sexual assault .

The  request for a transcript of the Crown’s address to the jury cannot be  provided as there  is no transcript,  however, Justice Parrett has offered to make the recordings of the  closing  arguments by both the Crown and Defence  available to  the jury.

Court will resume just before  10 this morning,  so Justice Parrett can have a discussion with  Counsel before  bringing the jury  in to  provide the more detailed  answers to their  questions.
