On Thursday, the seven-man, seven-woman jury heard testimony from three Crown witnesses, including Sandeson’s former teammate, Justin Blades.

Blades told the court that on the evening of Aug. 15, 2015 he was visiting his best friend, Pookiel McCabe, at an apartment on Henry Street in Halifax, which was located across the hall from Sandeson’s residence.

Blades said he heard a loud bang, and moments later saw a man slumped over on a chair in the kitchen of Sandeson’s apartment, bleeding from his head.

He testified Sandeson was running around inside the apartment with bloody money in his hands and asked him to get the car, which he refused to do.
