Defence lawyer Scott Spencer said in his closing arguments Thursday that the Crown must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Stanley fired at Boushie intentionally if the murder charge is to stick. Gerald Stanley, 56, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 22-year-old Colten Boushie from the Red Pheasant First Nation in August 2016. “There’s no evidence he (Stanley) pulled the trigger,” Spencer told jurors in Battleford, Sask., on Thursday. You have to do what is right based on the evidence you heard in this courtroom. Stanley testified he and his son heard the SUV drive into the farmyard and then heard one of their all-terrain vehicles start.
