Melissa Merritt not guilty of killing former mother-in-law, faces retrial in ex-husband's murder
CBC
A Brampton jury has found Melissa Merritt not guilty of killing her former mother-in-law in a retrial more than a decade later, but it could not reach a verdict on whether she was guilty in the death of her ex-husband.
Merritt, 42, was acquitted of having ordered the murder of 63-year-old Bridget Harrison in 2010, in a verdict delivered by the jury Monday.
Her ex-husband, Caleb Harrison, was found dead in August 2013 in the same home where his mother was killed, on Pitch Pine Crescent in Mississauga, Ont.
