Both agreed Steinhauer pointed a gun at Jackson s head. Whiskeyjack said he heard two clicks but the gun did not fire.
Both said Steinhauer helped to drag the body to the bridge railing. Whiskeyjack said Hunter helped. Hunter testified Whiskeyjack helped. You have to be convinced that they re telling the truth about the gun and that Steinhauer helped drag the body and pushed it over the railing, Crown prosecutor Jeff Rudiak said in his closing argument. There should be no doubt in your mind they re telling the truth on these issues.

The last few minutes of Lyndsay Jackson s life must have been a terrifying blur.
The 25-year-old mother from Saddle Lake Cree Nation plunged 15 metres into the North Saskatchewan River in the middle of the night after she was pushed off a bridge in September 2018.
Her body was discovered about a week later. Her legs were still in the water, but her upper body was on an embankment and had been attacked by animals.
Two people, Jena Hunter and Julian Whiskeyjack, were convicted in March of first-degree murder. The two, who were a couple at the time, were key witnesses for the Crown this week at the first-degree murder trial in St. Paul of co-accused Jermaine Steinhauer.
