SIMCOE – The drama wasn’t only inside the courtroom on Tuesday night after a man was found not guilty of the murder of his 90-year-old grandmother.
“Have a good night, Mr. McGuire,” Jordaine Wilson, waiting in the courthouse lobby for a ride home, called out to Crown attorney Brian McGuire as the lawyer hurried out the Simcoe courthouse following the verdict Tuesday night.
McGuire, who was clearly agitated, shot back: “Boy, oh boy, you’re one lucky man. I’m shocked by that verdict. It’s a strange verdict.”
But, said McGuire, there is no basis to appeal.
“I’m sure he was upset after all the hard work he put in,” said Wilson of the exchange. “This was totally unexpected.”
It took the jury about eight hours to decide Wilson, 36, wasn’t responsible for the death of his grandmother Marlen
