3rd day of delay at Pynn-Butler murder trial
For the third day in a row, a 12-member jury at Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court was sent home from a high-profile second-degree murder trial.
Philip Pynn and Lyndon Butler are being tried over the fatal shooting of Nick Winsor during what the Crown called a botched robbery at a house on Portugal Cove Road in St. John's.
Because the jury has not been told what the issues are, the cause of the delay cannot be reported.
Justice James Adams told the jury Friday that he regretted that issues that he is discussing with the Crown and defence remain unresolved.
"We are trying to work through things as quickly as possible," Adams told the jury.
The jury has been asked to be ready to resume on Monday afternoon.
Pynn and Butler are also being tried for the attempted murder of Tom "Billy" Power, the owner of the Portugal Cove Road house where Winsor was shot.
