Key Witness to Take Stand at Landry Trial

Jurors are expected to hear from a key witness and see dramatic evidence when the second-degree murder trial of Joseph James Landry continues today.   The 67-year-old is the first of four to be tried in the death of 43 year-old Phillip Boudreau.   In an unusual move, the proceedings will shift briefly to a vehicle bay at the Port Hawkesbury court house where jurors will view Boudreau’s badly damaged speedboat.   The Crown says that the crew of the Twin Maggies fishing boat shot at Boudreau several times, rammed his boat and dragged his body out to sea.   Boudreau’s body has never been found.   The jury is also due to hear testimony from Twin Maggies deckhand Craig Landry, today.
