As the jury continues deliberations, catch up on the trial with CBC's Jaela Bernstien and Debra Arbec.

The jury in the Quebec election-night shooting trial is facing no easy task as it weighs the evidence and arguments at hand.

Richard Bain is accused of first-degree murder in the deadly shooting at Montreal's Metropolis theatre, which left stagehand Denis Blanchette dead and his colleague Dave Courage seriously injured. 

The Crown argued Bain went to the Parti Québécois victory rally with the intent to kill. 

But the defence contends Bain should not be held criminally responsible because he was delusional.

CBC's Jaela Bernstien, who covered the 34-day trial, brings you up to speed on the most important witnesses and evidence heard by the court.
