Did Grace Robotti intend to kill the mother of her great-grandchild, or was she driven to it by fear for her own safety?

That香蕉视频直播檚 the question a jury of 12 will soon consider now that both the defence and Crown counsel have submitted their arguments.

First to offer closing statements to jurors at the 68-year-old香蕉视频直播檚 second degree murder trial was defence lawyer, James Pennington.

He portrayed Robotti as someone Roxanne Louie turned to for support and advice, particularly in relation to the young child they both loved.

Their relationship had its ups and downs, like any family, 香蕉视频直播渂ut what relationship doesn香蕉视频直播檛?香蕉视频直播� he said to jurors.

The fatal fight between the two women Jan. 4, 2015, however, was a turning point, and the details of it are where he found an argument for self defence and provocation.

Like other times, they argued about how Louie was raising the child, but, Pennington said, it quickly escalated to unmanageable levels.

Louie, he said, had a crowbar, and threw it at Robotti. She collected it again, he said, then paced around Louie.

香蕉视频直播淧lace yourself in the shoes of Mrs. Robotti,香蕉视频直播� he said to jurors. 香蕉视频直播淪he香蕉视频直播檚 a woman in her mid 60s, confronted by an aggressive woman in her mid 20s香蕉视频直播� who was armed with a weapon.香蕉视频直播�

Pennington said if you aren香蕉视频直播檛 a woman in your mid 60s, you may not be concerned by the scenario.

香蕉视频直播淏ut if you香蕉视频直播檙e a woman who香蕉视频直播檚 never been in a fight before, being confronted by someone brandishing a weapon香蕉视频直播ο憬妒悠抵辈�� the perspective would be different.

Louie, he said was 香蕉视频直播渒ind and pleasant香蕉视频直播� but she did have a dark side.

She was flagged by police as violent and mentally unstable and had two charges of assault with a weapon on record.

香蕉视频直播�(Robotti) knew she was quite capable of inflicting bodily harm if given the opportunity,香蕉视频直播� he said.

So, he said, when the fight broke out Robotti acted with a force intended to just make Louie 香蕉视频直播渟top.香蕉视频直播�

When Crown counsel Mallory Treddenick offered her closing remarks she pointed out that Robotti香蕉视频直播檚 recollection of events when she testified was evasive, meandering and oftentimes self serving.

She explained to the jury that while the Crown concedes her initial defence of herself was justified, there was point where Louie passed out and any force against her was 香蕉视频直播渘o longer for the purpose of defending herself.香蕉视频直播�

Treddenick said Robotti was either trying to kill Louie or 香蕉视频直播渁t the very least injure香蕉视频直播� her.

香蕉视频直播淲hat do the number of injuries and the location of the injuries and the severity of the injuries tell you about what was actually in Ms. Robotti香蕉视频直播檚 mind when she struck Roxanne with the crowbar?香蕉视频直播� said Treddenick to the jury.

Treddenick highlighted the fact that the forensic pathologist who performed Louie香蕉视频直播檚 autopsy, said at least 12 blows to the head were delivered while she was inert.

Treddenick also told jurors that Robotti香蕉视频直播檚 story doesn香蕉视频直播檛 fit the legal parameters needed for provocation, an argument that aligns her with the lesser charge of manslaughter.

She said that she should have 香蕉视频直播渆xpected the insults and accusations香蕉视频直播� from Louie, who had been hysterical in front of her before.

The jury will continue getting legal direction from the judge tomorrow and will start deliberations after.
