Identification of evidence lacking in a murder case, the lawyer says

despair

The lawyer for the double-murder suspect Gerald David Benn said Monday there’s no evidence to identify his client as the gunman in the fatal shootings of two Calgary men.

And defense counsel Andrea Urquhart argued even if there was, there’s nothing in the Crown’s case to show the gunman planned the deadly attack and the accused should only have to answer a charge of second-degree murder.

Urquhart made the comments in a directed verdict application before Justice Nick Devlin at the conclusion of the Crown’s case in Benn’s trial on two counts of first-degree
