A jury must decide if a financial adviser is wrongly accused of murdering his disabled client, or if he built a bomb, disguised it as a Christmas present and left it on the doorstep of her central Alberta home. Closing arguments were heard yesterday in the trial of 57-year-old Brian Malley, who has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and explosives charges. Canadian Press reporter Chris Purdy was in court and recounts what Crown prosecutor Anders Quist said about Malley and the death of Victoria Shachtays (SHAK'-tayz). (Defence lawyer Bob Aloneissi (ah-loh-NEE'-see) told the jury that motive doesn't make sense -- all Malley had to do was just stop paying.)
