The murder trial of a Hay River, Northwest Territories, man is now focused on the credibility of a key witness: the other man charged with the same murder.
James Thomas is on trial for first degree murder and robbery in the death of a 25-year-old man in Hay River in the early hours of Dec. 27, 2017. A pivotal witness in the trial is Levi Cayen, who is scheduled to be tried on the same charges in January.
