The defence says the Crown has failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt at the trial of former clerk of the legislature Craig James.
Lawyer Gavin Cameron continued his closing arguments for a second day in B-C Supreme Court.
James was charged with fraud and breach of trust based on allegations of misspending.
But Cameron says two people stand by their decisions on James receiving a 258-thousand-dollar retirement benefit and two others followed policy in approving his travel expense claims.
In a statement, Supt. Duncan Pound of B.C.'s anti-gang squad says its investigations into the shootings in Langley, Surrey and Coquitlam — in which one person was killed and the bystanders were hurt — indicate they appear to be connected to the drug trade.

The government says Liberal MPs Patricia Lattanzio and James Maloney are joining the committee, filling spots most recently held by Conservatives Leona Alleslev and Rob Morrison.
A special avalanche warning has been posted for recreational backcountry users in several regions of B.C. and Alberta as warm temperatures make the snowpack unstable. Avalanche Canada and Parks Canada have issued the advisory to take effect immediately and last through to Monday.
