After just a few hours of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict in the trial of Marc-André for the murder of Guylaine Potvin.
This was announced by Superior Court Judge François Huot in the afternoon.
The verdict will be announced around 5 p.m., time for the victim’s family to return to the Chicoutimi courthouse.
The jury was sequestered at the end of the day on Monday, but the judge’s instructions continued throughout the morning on Tuesday, so that it did not begin its deliberations until after dinner time.
More details to come.
