Slayer Hearing To Determine Runyon's Guilt
Brim Ontario witnesses recount the August killing of Santiago Garcia by George Byron Runyon, common law husband of Runyon's stepdaughter Eva Williams. Runyon testified he saw Garcia threaten him, causing fear and sleepless nights before the high‑powered rifle shot ended Garcia's life. Judge A P Rossiter weighs Runyon's fate after Runyon pleaded guilty in September to the murder and hears testimony from Commonwealth and character witnesses. The ruling could set death, life imprisonment, second degree murder, or voluntary manslaughter penalties.
