Fate of Sydney Teerhuis rest with the jury

The fate of Sydney Teerhuis now rests with the jury.

It will decide if the man is guilty of manslaughter or second degree murder in the death of Robin Greene.

That's because Teerhuis admits that he killed Green.

The victim had to be taken out of a suite in the Royal Albert Hotel in a metal box because his body had been chopped up into eight pieces.

Throughout the trial, Teerhuis maintained that he had blacked out during the time of the actual killing.

In his charge to the jury Justice Glen Joyal told them that just because he blacked out doesn't mean Teerhuis couldn't possess the intent to kill.

He said the jury has to consider that Teerhuis clearly remembered the events leading up to and after the killing.

He added that the jury has to decide what role drugs and alcohol played in clouding his mind and whether or not he could possess the state of mind capable of murder.

Teerhuis testified that he consumed drugs and alcohol in the hours leading up to the killing.

Pieces of Robin Greene's body were found stacked in a bathtub in room 309 of the hotel.

In her closing submission last week, the crown attorney asked how a person could be so drunk that they could do that to a body and not remember it.
