The fate of a North Thompson woman who admits to stabbing her boyfriend in the chest, but claims to have been acting in self-defence is in the hands of a judge.
Bernadine Miranda Cameron testified in her own defence during a brief trial in Kamloops provincial court, claiming she was fearful for her life when she stabbed her former boyfriend with a knife in a Barriere home on Feb. 16, 2016.
In court on Wednesday, defence lawyer Jay Michi said prosecutors had not established Cameron, 43, was not acting in self defence.
“The only issue for this court to resolve is whether the Crown has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Ms. Cameron did not act in self defence,” he said.
Court heard the victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Cameron is facing charges of assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.
Kamloops provincial court Judge Marianne Armstrong is expected to deliver a decision at a later date.
