TORONTO — A man acquitted of killing his mother-in-law after he said he was sleepwalking was acquitted Thursday of trying to murder his father-in-law in the same incident.
An Ontario Supreme Court judge said the onus was on the Crown to prove that Kenneth Parks, 24, was conscious when he allegedly choked and stabbed Denis Woods in May, 1987.
Last May, during the trial in the murder of Barbara Ann Woods, 42, who was beaten and stabbed, Parks said he was sleepwalking when he drove to their house and attacked them.
