This appeal concerned the conviction of Elaine Biddersingh for second-degree murder.
The appellant raised three grounds: the trial judge erred in dismissing her application for a judge-alone trial due to negative pretrial publicity, erred in ruling certain statements admissible, and erred in refusing to instruct the jury on an intervening act of drowning.
The Court of Appeal dismissed all grounds of appeal, upholding the conviction.
The Crown's cross-appeal was dismissed as abandoned.
