Murder Trial Delayed for Another Week


The second degree murder trial of Angela Duchesne and Kenneth Ivall has
been delayed for another week.

The Jury was called yesterday morning and then quickly dismissed.

Justice Terrance Platana says the appointment of David Gibson as an
Ontario Court Judge continues to present some issues in the trial.

Gibson was Angela Duchesne's lawyer and she has since obtain new
legal counsel.

But Justice Platana says counsel will need a larger opportunity to examine
their position to ensure the trial will resume fairly.

He says the crown and the prosecution will continue to meet this week, working in the jury's absence.

The jury has been asked to return to the Kenora Court House next Monday
morning.
