The fate of Wade Laughlin is the hands of a jury deliberating on charges of aggravated assault and manslaughter.
The Court of Queen’s Bench trial of Calvin Wade Laughlin wrapped up this morning. He is charged in the death of Neil McMaster who was found on a boulevard in Nacmine on May 2, 2011. He died on May 4 in a Calgary hospital.
The crown wrapped up its case last Friday morning with testimony from medical examiner Dr. Bernard Bannach, who conclude the death of McMaster was caused by blunt cranial trauma.
Laughlin, acting in his own defense, concluded his case to day. This was followed by final arguments from Laughlin and prosecutor Ron Pedersen. The presiding judge charged the eight women and four men jury to find a verdict, and they began deliberations.
