UPDATE: Leopold Trial Interrogation Nears End

The jury in the Supreme Court trial of a Queens County man is hearing the second half of a nine hour police interrogation. Thirty year old James Leroy Leopold of Liverpool is accused of killing his fiance, Laura Lee Robertson in April, 2011. RCMP Sergeant Greg Vardy began pressing Leopold in the videotaped interview conducted last year in Chester while he sat in a chair with his hands covering his face. At one point, Leopold told the officer he ‘couldn’t take this no more’ and asked for his lawyer but Vardy continued to work him over. The interrogation lasts about nine hours in total and according to Crown attorney’s includes Leopold’s confession to the murder of Robertson. Leopold’s lawyers have yet to present their case to the 12 member panel. The trial broke for lunch at 12:30PM and will pick back up at 2 o’clock.
