The crown and the defense have painted very different pictures of what took place the night Ed Wilson died on March 21st, 2009 in Norman.Final arguments were presented to the jury yesterday.
Crown Attorney Mary-Ann Mousseau rejects defense arguments that Kenneth Ivall was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She says he was enraged by the fact that Ed Wilson had struck him outside the Tower Motel.
She also says Ivall wanted to avenge a sexual assault that Wilson was alleged to have made against
Angela Duchesne when she was 16 year old girl.
The defense meanwhile suggests that Duchesne orchestrated many of the events that fateful night, including
the beating of Ed Wilson by a number of men outside the Tower Motel.
Defense lawyer Chris Watkins says Duchesne manipulated and lied to police and destroyed evidence
and suggested the jury should disregard any statements that she made during the trial.
Watkins says while his version of events may not match the crown's he says they fit the facts just as well.
Justice Terrance Platana has dismissed the jury until Tuesday morning, when he plans to make his final
instructions to them, before they begin their deliberations.
