At the close of the Crown's case in a first degree murder trial, the accused brought applications for a directed verdict.
The Crown's case relied on circumstantial evidence, including video surveillance, cell phone records, and motive, to establish that the accused planned and carried out the shooting.
Applying the test from Arcuri, the court found that the Crown's evidence, if believed, could reasonably support an inference of guilt.
The applications for a directed verdict were dismissed.
