No verdict after five days of deliberations at Richard Henry Bain murder trial
MONTREAL — Jurors at Richard Henry Bain’s first-degree murder trial will deliberate for a sixth day after failing to come to a verdict Wednesday.
Justice Guy Cournoyer accepted their request for an additional computer — the first time they’ve asked for something relating to the trial since Saturday.
Bain is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of lighting technician Denis Blanchette outside a Montreal nightclub as well as three counts of attempted murder.
The charges relate to a shooting at the venue where then-Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois was speaking after her election win on Sept. 4, 2012.
