The jury in the Nathaniel Veltman murder trial started the day with words from Justice Renee Pomerance.
She explained to the jury that testimony heard from Forensic Psychiatrist Dr. Julian Gojer was "from time to time about what the accused was thinking at the time of the offences."
Pomerance also noted, Gojer can’t say for sure what Veltman was actually thinking.
She instructed the members of the jury to consider if they believe Veltmans evidence, they can use Gojer's testimony to assist them in deciding the case.
If they don't believe Veltman’s version, it’s up to the jurors to decide how much weight, if any, to give Gojer's evidence.
While continuing to question Gojer, the defence asked if Veltman’s mental illnesses could have “impacted on his ability to plan (to hurt or kill someone)?”
To which Gojer responded, yes “in both directions.”
