Murder, manslaughter or acquittal? What the jury has to decide at the trial of Umar Zameer

The jurors deciding whether or not Umar Zameer deliberately ran over Toronto police Const. Jeffrey Northrup in the parking garage below Nathan Phillips Square were each given 143 pages of instructions to help them guide their decision-making process.

Justice Anne Molloy read her guidance over eight hours of final instructions on Thursday, touching on everything from the irrelevance of outside information to summaries of witness testimony — including that of Zameer, his wife, two collision reconstruction experts and plainclothes Toronto police officers.
