To help justify this argument, the defence has received daily shift records from the Central Nova Correctional Facility in Burnside that documents how many times during the week Siscoe was allowed out of his cell, how many times he got to go outdoors for exercise, and also what impact staff shortages, the lack of programming, etc., have had on his remand time.
Wayne Richard Crawford, 39, entered a guilty plea to a charge of second-degree murder on Jan. 3 and will be sentenced May 30.
