The jury in a Moncton murder trial heard Friday from a witness who testified about the hours leading up to the shooting death of Joedin Leger.
The 21-year-old was the 25th witness to testify in the second-degree murder trial of Riley Phillips. The 20-year-old is accused of killing Leger on April 25, 2022, in Moncton.
The Crown alleges Leger was shot during a home invasion and robbery involving Phillips and five others that morning.
The witness Friday mainly testified about events in the hours before Phillips’s alleged involvement. Justice Robert Dysart told jurors the testimony was being offered for context.
CBC is not naming the witness, or using several details about her, because it could identify another witness. That second witness, who finished testifying Thursday, cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was 17 at the time.
The witness who testified Friday said she was watching TV at her apartment when the 17-year-old approached her asking if she wanted to rob someone.
