Rene Sweeney murder trial adjourned until Thursday

The delays continue in the Rene Sweeney murder trial at the Sudbury courthouse.

The court hasn't heard evidence since Wednesday, after several jurors contracted COVID-19.

On Tuesday morning, Justice Robbie Gordonand the defence and Crown lawyersdiscussed several issues related to the case, but the jury was not in the courtroom, so those details are covered by a publication ban.

The trial is now adjourned until Thursday morning.

Steven Wright, 43,is charged with second-degree murder, accused of stabbing Sweeney to death in an adult video store in January 1998.
