MONTREAL - Hockey great Guy Lafleur will have to wait two weeks to find out whether he'll be found guilty on a charge of giving contradictory testimony.
At his trial, the Crown argued Lafleur went too far in trying to help his troubled son by omitting certain information during a bail hearing in 2007.
His son Mark was under a court-ordered curfew.
But Lafleur testified he didn't think it was important that he had allowed him to spend a few nights at a hotel to have some privacy with his girlfriend.
The 57-year-old hockey star said the hotel visits had slipped his mind during the bail proceedings.
But Judge Claude Parent said he was surprised the accused found the hotel visits to be unimportant.
Crown prosecutor Lori-Renee Weitzman says the evidence shows Lafleur had reasons to mislead the court.
She says that it was in Lafleur's interest to help his son and that was his mistake.
Lafleur's lawyer Jean-Pierre Rancourt maintains there was enough reasonable doubt.
He said his client's response he was unaware of the nuts and bolts of the curfew was plausible.
Parent will render a verdict on May 1st.
A conviction could result in a jail sentence of up to 14 years.
