Magnotta jury watches more European video on Day 6 of first-degree murder trial

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Oct, 2014 10:32 AM

    MONTREAL - The jury in Luka Rocco Magnotta's first-degree murder trial is continuing to hear from a Montreal police homicide detective on Day 6 of evidence being presented.

    Defence attorney Luc Leclair is questioning Claudette Hamlin about videos of Magnotta seized by authorities at a Paris bus station and an Internet cafe in Berlin where the accused was arrested in June 2012.

    At Leclair's insistence, the jury has been watching lengthy segments of video even though Magnotta appears only in snippets.

    The 32-year-old Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to five charges. He has admitted to the acts he's accused of in Jun Lin's death, but is arguing he is not criminally responsible by way of mental disorder.

    The Crown contends the killing was planned and deliberate and says it will prove that.

    The charges against Magnotta are first-degree murder; criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament; mailing obscene and indecent material; committing an indignity to a body; and publishing obscene materials.
