Crown asks jurors to reject faint hope bid of woman who 'executed' husband yyc

“You as the representatives of society must continue to repudiate and denounce her manipulative, cruel plan and active participation in the execution of Nick Maradyn for profit,” he said.

Parker said McKinnon’s manipulation included convincing Bruso, nine years her younger, to take the fatal shot from 20 metres away as he hid in tall grass in a farmer’s field. “She might get a gold star on her report card, but she is not deserving of you, here today, to get a gold ticket for early release from prison.”Photo by SuppliedBut defence lawyer James McLeod said jurors should give McKinnon a shot at parole earlier than her initial sentence indicated.

The lawyer said jurors might be concerned McKinnon still won’t take full responsibility for her role in Maradyn’s death, denying she lured him to his killing and claiming his prior abuse, not insurance payments, was her motivation.Article content
