Former Sask. Mountie’s gun had one round missing: Herman murder trial commences in Prince Albert
A former Saskatchewan Mountie, accused of first degree murder, spoke to multiple colleagues on the day a man was shot and killed, and court heard nothing about his behaviour seemed out of the ordinary.
That was among the recurring testimony heard on Monday, as Bernie Herman’s trial commenced at Court of King’s Bench in Prince Albert.
On May 11, 2021, it’s alleged Herman shot and killed 26-year-old Braden Herman. The victim’s body was found in a wooded area of the city’s northeastern outskirts.
Herman appeared calm in court and attentive with no visual reaction to any of the evidence presented. He was joined in court by family and friends, including a chaplain. He is currently out on bail and retired from the RCMP shortly after the charges were brought forward. He served as a member for over 30 years.
