A man on trial for murder said he mistakenly applied for a mistrial.
Greg Fertuck is charged with first-degree murder in the death of his estranged wife, Sheree Fertuck.
The 51-year-old woman went missing in 2015. The Crown believes Fertuck shot Sheree at a gravel pit near Kenaston, Sask. Her body has never been found.
Just days before the verdict, Fertuck asked to restart the trial and have a new firearms expert testify.
Justice Richard Danyliuk expressed some frustration in a fiat released to media last week, when he disclosed that Fertuck had asked to address the court about his last-minute applications 11 days before the verdict.
Danyliuk wrote that he rearranged his entire schedule for the week in order to accommodate the requests.
On Monday, Fertuck said he "didn't really want a mistrial."
