A lawyer defending two Calgary parents accused of killing their teenage son argued Wednesday they cannot be found guilty of murder. Emil Radita, 59, and his wife, Rodica, 54, are charged with first-degree-murder in the 2013 death of 15-year-old Alex. "The only real question this court needs to answer all centres around intent," lawyer Andrea Serink, who represents Rodica Radita, said in her final argument. He was staying in their parents' bedroom because "he was kind of sick ... just the daily sickness, I guess." The young woman also acknowledged her parents did not believe in taking their children to doctors on religious grounds.
