A judge has declared a mistrial in the case a man accused of killing his mother when he was a teenager.
King’s Bench Justice Ken Champagne is delivering his reasons for the decision Monday after a motion from the defence.
Family members and supporters broke out in tears and applause after Champagne announced his decision.
“The nightmare is over finally,” one woman said, wiping tears from her eyes. “This should never have happened.”
The man was on trial charged with second-degree murder in the March 26, 2019 killing of his 51-year-old mother.
The Free Press is not naming the victim as it would identify the accused, who was 16 at the time of the killing.
