Part 4 of The Crime Tapes looks at White’s police interview — and the verdict in the case.

On the witness stand, White looked at the jury and stated he did not kill his wife. The defence opened its case with the accused testifying under oath.

The Crown’s evidence did lack one thing: a concrete motive as to why White would murder his wife.

When the jury came back, CTV News Edmonton broke into live programming with the decision, and then at 6 p.m. a full segment on the verdict.
