Lawyers argue over mistrial in murder case of missing Alberta seniors
EDMONTON — Lawyers are returning to an Edmonton courtroom today to argue about whether there should be a mistrial because a judge used an outdated section of the Criminal Code in his murder verdict.
The defence and Crown have already filed written submissions in the mistrial application by Travis Vader, but also plan to make oral arguments.
It’s not known when Court of Queen’s Bench Justice Denny Thomas will make a decision.
Thomas convicted Vader last month of second-degree murder in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann.
