WINNIPEG — Lawyers for a Winnipeg man accused of killing four women are renewing calls for a judge to decide the case rather than a jury.

They say two years of publicity surrounding the high-profile case of Jeremy Skibicki may sway the jury panel that was picked last week.

It was the second time in six months they made the argument that Skibicki should have the right to elect the mode of trial that he wants. The poll was commissioned by Legal Aid Manitoba, whose lawyers represent Skibicki, and was completed over a four-day period in February. He told court callers read from a script and were not allowed to go outside of it to provide more context.
