Samantha Dittmer, 63, has pleaded not guilty, describing the fatal shooting as an “accident.”
A B.C. Supreme Court jury is deliberating whether a Port Alberni woman is guilty of the second-degree murder of her adult son.
The Crown alleges that Dittmer reached her breaking point that day, dealing with her violent, unpredictable son. On the afternoon of Aug. 29, Dittmer and McPhee had a loud argument. She drove off after McPhee hurt her and threatened to put her out of her misery. The jury must decide if Dittmer intended to cause McPhee’s death or intended to cause him bodily harm that would likely kill him.
