Defence contends B.C. man not criminally responsible for mother's murder
- The trial of Ryan Elder, accused of killing his mother, will continue as his defence argues he is not criminally responsible for second-degree murder due to a mental disorder.
- Justice Jennifer Power reopened the trial instead of making a judgment on Elder's mental responsibility on January 15.
- Crown prosecutor Patrick Weir described Elder's actions, stating he stabbed his mother seven times after an altercation, despite having the option to leave.
- The defence will present its case on January 20, focusing on Elder's mental health during the incident, according to defence lawyer Ryan Drury.
