A jury has ended its second day of deliberations in the case of two men charged with murder over the Boxing Day 2005 death of teenager Jane Creba without reaching a verdict.

Justice Gladys Pardu gave the 12-member jury legal instructions on Monday, and they commenced deliberating shortly before 4 p.m. She gave them additional instructions Tuesday morning. They stopped deliberations for the day in the early evening.

Tyshaun Barnett, 22, and Louis Raphael Woodcock, 23, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.

The Crown has tried to prove that Barnett fired a .25-calibre semi-automatic handgun at Jeremiah Valentine, who was in turn firing at Barnett and his friends in a gun battle that left Creba mortally wounded and others injured on a Yonge Street sidewalk.

In its closing arguments last week, Barnett's lawyer argued there was no evidence his client was even in front of the Foot Locker store when the shooting started at about 5:15 p.m.

Christopher Hicks attacked the credibility of one Crown witness who put Barnett at the scene, saying that person had repeatedly changed their testimony.

The Crown admitted that its main witness was shaky in some ways, but that what he said is supported by other facts.

There was a .25-calibre shell casing found at the scene.

Valentine used a .357 Magnum revolver, which actually fired the shot that ultimately caused Creba's death. He pleaded guilty last year to her murder.

Woodcock is alleged to have carried a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun from the Eaton Centre north to the Foot Locker, which is just south of the Pizza Pizza at Elm Street and Yonge.

Creba had been out shopping with her sister. She darted across the street to see if she could use the restroom in the Pizza Pizza storefront.

The Crown believes Jorrell Simpson-Rowe fired the 9 mm handgun. Although he didn't fire the shot that killed Creba, under Canadian law, that would make him a party to her death. Rowe was convicted of second-degree murder in 2008.

For the same reason, the Crown argued that Woodcock -- whose DNA was found on the 9 mm handgun, but not Simpson-Rowe's -- and Barnett are legally culpable for Creba's death through their alleged participation in the gun battle.

Simpson-Rowe had possession of the handgun when police arrested him and a second man at Castle Frank subway station about 45 minutes after the shooting.

Woodcock testified in his own defence. He denied firing a shot or doing anything to contribute to the gun battle.

To convict Woodcock, Pardu told the seven-woman, five-man jury that they must be convinced that he either drew and fired a shot or passed the handgun to Simpson-Rowe to fire.

To convict Barnett, she said they must be convicted he drew and fired a gun.

Brass Rail murder

There is a second high-profile murder case before a jury that ended its second day of deliberations

The jury in the murder case arising from a 2008 shooting outside the Brass Rail tavern on Yonge Street wants to have the testimony of defendant Edward Paredes read to them, along with that of an off-duty officer who testified that he saw Paredes take out his handgun and "rack" it, meaning loading a shell into the chamber, according to the Globe and Mail.

A shot fired outside the tavern caused the death of John O'Keefe, who was just walking by.

Paredes, 24, and his friend Awet Zarkarias, 25, are on trial for second-degree murder.

The Crown has tried to prove that Zekarias urged Paredes to fire a shot at the bouncers who had just ejected them from the strip club, but they hit O'Keefe instead.

Paredes' handgun is legally owned and registered. He uses it for target shooting.

Paredes has claimed he only intended to scare the bouncers. Zekarias, while admitting to be angry about the ejection, denied he encouraged Paredes to kill anyone.

Justice Mary Lou Benotto told the jurors they should decide first on the guilt of Paredes, either on second-degree murder or the lesser and included offence of manslaughter, before reaching a decision on Zekarias.
