The appellant appealed his conviction for second degree murder, arguing that two jurors demonstrated bias during the challenge for cause process, that the trial judge erred in refusing an adjournment to retain counsel of choice, and that the jury instructions on the requisite intent for murder were flawed.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no basis for juror bias, no prejudice from the refused adjournment as counsel was re-retained on the second day of trial, and no error in the jury instructions regarding the appellant's capacity and intent.
