The Crown has wrapped up its case against accused murder Brandon Phillips, but it remains to be seen if the defence will call any witnesses to the stand on Monday.
Phillips, 29, is alleged to have shot and killed Larry Wellman, 63, during an armed robbery at the Captain's Quarters Hotel in St. John's on Oct. 3, 2015.
