Trial begins for three accused of murder - October 16th

Details surrounding a shooting death just east of the city could be unveiled over the next several weeks as what's expected to be a lengthy trial began Monday for three Vanderhoof-area men accused of a drug-related shooting death.

Darren Sundman, 33, Kurtis Sundman, 27, who are brothers, and Sebastian Martin, 44, each face a count of first-degree murder in the January 2015 death of Jordan Tayor McLeod, who was 24 years old at the time.

The court is expected to hear testimony that the three murdered McLeod at a spot on Upper Fraser Road and then dumped his body in a remote area northwest of the city.

As many as 130 witnesses could be called over the span of 65 days with the trial expected to run into the new year. Key among those witnesses will be Stevenson, who was also arrested in Quesnel and subsequently cooperated with police.

The trial was originally to be held before a jury but the three re-elected last week for judge alone, with B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams presiding.

The Prince George courthouse will be the scene of more high-profile trials in 2018, starting with one carrying over from 2017.

Brothers Darren and Kurtis Sundman, and Sebastian Martin stand accused of first-degree murder in the January 2015 death of Jordan Tayor McLeod.

The B.C. Supreme Court trial before judge alone began in mid-October with the last of the testimony expected to end in mid-January.
 
Love triangle, drug debt motives for murder, court hears

The court heard that a debt of drug money, as well as a messy love triangle were the main motives in the 2015 murder of Jordan Taylor McLeod.

The prosecution's case against the three accused had relied significantly on the testimony of Stacey Stevenson, who was a witness to the killing of McLeod. She also took part in efforts to hide both his body and evidence afterwards, according to her previous testimony.

Defence in McLeod murder argues for full acquittal

Despite the testimony of a witness who saw three armed men chase Jordan Taylor McLeod into the woods and then drag his dead body back to their pickup truck, defence lawyers for these men argued Wednesday for all to be acquitted on the charges of first degree murder.

The closing arguments of the defence lawyers for two of the three men accused in McLeod's January 2015 murder argued that the crown had not established, beyond a reasonable doubt, who had killed him. The prosecution, they said, relied overwhelmingly on statements from an unreliable witness.
 
Shotgun-toting suspect was a minor player, argues defence

http://www.princegeorgecitizen.com/news/local-news/shotgun-toting-suspect-was-a-minor-player-argues-defence-1.23182982

Sebastian Martin, a man who chased Jordan Taylor McLeod into the night with a shotgun and who, according to a key witness, said 'I got him boss,' shortly after McLeod was murdered, was little more than a minor player in the crime, according to his defence lawyer.

Martin's defence lawyer, James Heller, finished his closing arguments on Thursday by making the case that Martin should be found guilty of second degree murder. He, along with Darren and Kurtis Sundman, is on trial for first degree murder in relation to the murder of McLeod. Heller argued that the evidence presented by the crown did not justify that Martin had taken part in pre-planning McLeod's killing.

Long prison terms sought for shooting death

Darren Sundman and Sebastian Martin automatically face life in prison. At question is the length of time they must serve before they're eligible for parole and Crown is seeking 13 to 17 years before they can apply.

As for Kurtis Sundman, Crown is seeking 15 years in prison as a starting point.

Crown prosecutor Joseph Temple argued there several aggravating factors against the three.

He said McLeod subjected to a "prolonged and deliberate attack" while confined in Kurtis Sundman's pickup truck in which he was bludgeoned with a handgun and urged to leap out of the truck while it sped along Highway 16.
 
Trio apologizes to murder victim's family at end of sentencing hearing

Found guilty of manslaughter in the Jan. 16, 2015 death of Jordan Taylor McLeod, Kurtis Sundman turned around in his prisoner's box and faced the family before reading a prepared statement.

"I am truly sorry for your loss, I am sorry for your pain and the anguish you must be going through," he said before turning back to B.C. Supreme Court Justice James Williams and acknowledged he has a debt to pay.

Sundman's brother, Darren, found guilty of second-degree murder, said there's not been a day that's gone by when he hasn't thought about his actions that night and called what happened a "living nightmare."

Struggling to hold back sobs and tears, Martin, also found guilty of second-degree murder, apologized to both McLeod's family and his own and added he does not want to "put my onus" on the Sundmans for his actions.



Sentencing is scheduled for July 5th.
