The trial of a man accused of murdering a taxi driver is drawing to a close.
In her closing argument on Thursday, Crown prosecutor Genevive Dagenais told the jury that Michel Duchaussoy should be found guilty of first-degree murder for his crime.
She explained how Duchaussoy shot Ziad Bouzid twice at point blank range, firing two shots six seconds apart to ensure he died.
Dagenais reiterated the evidence against Duchaussoy, including his videotaped interview with police where he admitted to shooting the taxi driver.
She also explained that Duchaussoy was ready to kill someone because he was poor, upset, and very angry.
In November 2013 Duchaussoy and his wife called a taxi to drive them from Dorval to Cote des Neiges even though they had no money.
Duchaussoy was carrying a loaded sawed-off shotgun in a backpack.
Defence lawyer Elfriede Duclervil delivered her closing remarks Thursday afternoon.
She argued that Duchaussoy should not be found guilty of premeditated murder because he did not plan Bouzid's death in advance.
The jury is expected to begin its deliberations next week.
