Closing arguments expected Monday in Renée Sweeney murder trial

After five weeks of testimony and delays at the Sudbury courthouse, we are getting close to a decision in the Renée Sweeney murder trial.

Steven Wright, 43, is accused of fatally stabbing the 23-year-old Laurentian University student in a south-end adult video store in January 1998 when he was still in high school.

On Monday, the court is expected to hear the closing arguments from Wright's lawyers, followed by the Crown prosecutors.

Then, Justice Robbie Gordon will give instructions to the jury before they go into deliberations to come up with a verdict.

That could take several days, and they'll be sequestered in a hotel until a decision is reached.
