Lawyers for Jeremy Skibicki, accused of killing four women in Winnipeg, seek a judge-only trial due to potential jury bias from media coverage.
In Winnipeg, lawyers for a man accused of killing four women are again trying to persuade a judge to decide the case instead of a jury. They claim that two years of media coverage around the high-profile case may sway the jury panel selected last week. The accused, Jeremy Skibicki, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Morgan Harris, Marcedes Myran, Rebecca Contois, and an unidentified woman named Mashkode Bizhiki'ikwe or Buffalo Woman. Skibicki's trial is scheduled to last six weeks.
