Luka Magnotta trial set to resume in Montreal with defence case

Luka Magnotta’s defence could begin Friday, with his lawyer claiming Magnotta didn’t know it was wrong to kill a Chinese student, cut him to pieces and video himself having sex with the parts.

It is not clear how long Magnotta’s lawyer, Luc Leclair, will take to present his case.

Magnotta faces four charges in addition to premeditated murder: criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament; mailing obscene and indecent material; committing an indignity to a body; and publishing obscene materials.

Crown prosecutor Louis Bouthillier presented his final scheduled witness on Tuesday as details emerged of Magnotta’s arrest in Berlin on June 4, 2012.

Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer told the jurors it’s normal to have a few days separation between Crown and defence evidence in such a trial.
