Closing arguments expected Monday in Renée Sweeney murder trial
CBC
After five weeks of testimony and delays at the Sudbury courthouse, we are getting close to a decision in the Renée Sweeney murder trial.
Steven Wright, 43, is accused of fatally stabbing the 23-year-old Laurentian University student in a south-end adult video store in January 1998 when he was still in high school.
On Monday, the court is expected to hear the closing arguments from Wright's lawyers, followed by the Crown prosecutors.
Then, Justice Robbie Gordon will give instructions to the jury before they go into deliberations to come up with a verdict.
That could take several days, and they'll be sequestered in a hotel until a decision is reached.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
