Sask. man found guilty of 2nd-degree murder in 2006 high school bush party stabbing
The jury convicted the man of second-degree murder after a detailed evidence review; the fatal stabbing occurred at a high school grad party nearly 20 years ago.
- On Friday, a jury convicted a man of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Misha Pavelick, delivering the verdict in a Regina King’s Bench courtroom.
- Following anonymous tips generated by the RCMP podcast 'Who Killed Misha Pavelick', nearly 20 people contacted authorities and led to charges against the accused, who was 17 at the time of the killing and 34 at arrest.
- During closing arguments earlier this week, defence lawyer Andrew Hitchcock told jurors the case was tainted by `years of gossip and comparing notes` and urged consideration of alternate scenarios.
- Tears filled the courtroom when Pavelick family members gasped, cried and hugged as the 12-person jury delivered the verdict while the accused appeared distraught and Justice Dawson discharged jurors Friday.
- Despite conflicting witness accounts, the Crown argued the accused had access to a knife, closing a case nearly two decades old despite no clear proof and clouded memories.
