The jury in the second degree murder trial of Kenneth Ivall will resume their
deliberations this morning.
The jury was sequested yesterday afternoon after hearing a long series of closing instructions from Justice Terrance Platana.
He spent almost three and a half hours going over the charge.
Justice Platana told the jury they have three options when it comes to
a verdict for Ken Ivall.
He can be either found guilty or not guilty of second degree murder, and
he also offered up the option of a guilty verdict of manslaughter.
He also says if the crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
Ken Ivall killed Ed Wilson the early morning hours of March 21st, 2009,
they would have to find him not guilty.
Justice Platana did indicate that the jury would have to be unanimous in
its decision.
