Thursday will be Day 8 of Lac-Megantic jury deliberations

Jan 17, 2018 | 1:54 PM

SHERBROOKE, Que. — Jurors in the Lac-Megantic criminal negligence trial have completed Day 7 of their deliberations without reaching a verdict.

Unlike Tuesday, when they emerged with a letter telling the judge they were at an impasse, the jurors did not surface Wednesday.

The eight men and four women are deciding the fate of Tom Harding, Richard Labrie and Jean Demaitre.

The three are charged in connection with the July 2013 tragedy in which 47 people were killed when a runaway train carrying crude oil derailed and exploded.
