A judge is expected to deliver a verdict today in the trial of a man accused of killing a football player with the Calgary Stampeders.
Nelson Lugela, who is 21, is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Mylan Hicks outside the Marquee Beer Market in Calgary in September 2016.
Several witnesses identified Lugela as the man holding the gun. But one, a server at the bar, testified it was another person from the group who pulled the trigger. He said if Yamauchi is satisfied Lugela fired the weapon, then the judge needs to determine if Lugela's level of intoxication warrants reducing a murder conviction to manslaughter.
