Eisnor Hearing Resumes in Bridgewater


A hearing to determine whether or not a New Germany man is mentally fit to stand trial resumes this morning in Bridgewater. Forty-nine year old Wayne Paul Eisnor is facing a first degree murder charge in the shooting death of his wife Tina Eisnor in June of 2010. Eisnor then turned the gun on himself and suffered serious brain damage as a result. His son, 21 year-old Devin told reporters outside the courtroom that its been a difficult eighteen months for the family. "It's been stressful, we're staying strong together. Everyday you wake up hoping to see her, but you realize it's not going to happen. I got to spend 20 years with her and they were the best years of my life...so you just hold on to the good memories and block the bad ones out," Eisnor was initially deemed unfit to stand trial for murdering his wife, but the Nova Scotia Criminal Review Board ruled last year that he has improved significantly with treatment and is fit to stand trial. He remains in the East Coast Forensic Hospital in Dartmouth, pending a decision by the court.
