A veteran Calgary lawyer says Douglas Garland's defence strategy is a tactical decision, possibly based on a belief the Crown has failed to prove its case. Garland's defence lawyers told the court Thursday that they would not be calling any evidence in the triple-murder trial. "It is not absolutely unheard of," Don MacLeod told CBC Calgary News at 6 on Thursday. It could be the defence feels there's a good case for a new trial, MacLeod added. In the Garland trial, the jury has been dismissed until Monday morning when closing arguments will be made.
