Ermine found guilty; Victim’s brother speaks out
Robyn Laura Ermine has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Evan Tyler Bear, 27, who was killed in 2015 on Muskoday First Nation.
After more than eight hours of deliberating, the jury came back to deliver the verdict but sentencing won’t happen until Friday. The judge decided to let Ermine go with her family instead of spending the next day in jail.
He made the decision based on the fact that Ermine has been living in the community with an electronic monitor already and there has been no problems. He also took into account the late hour.
Her lawyer Adam Masiowski told the court the verdict caught the defence offguard.
