Defence will not call any witnesses to testify at Victoria Turley's trial.

Turley is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster charged with one count of failing to provide the necessities of life in connection with the death of 16year-old Shannon Raymond.

Shannon was found dead the morning of July 26, 2008, at Turley's Maple Ridge home.

Turley's lawyer David Milburn told the court Monday that the Crown prosecutor failed to prove Turley's guilt - beyond a reasonable doubt.

"The Crown and defence will make their final submissions and then the matter will be left for the judge to decide," Milburn said.

Ashley Dunn testified that she was with Shannon almost the entire afternoon and night before the teen died.

The afternoon of July 25, 2008 the girls met up with friends at someone's house. Before they left for the party bus, Dunn said, Spencer Turley revealed that he had some pills.

"Spencer held up a bag of what appeared to be ecstasy pills and said that, if people wanted to take ecstasy on the bus, he would provide it all," Dunn said.

After arriving at the party host's home around 8 p.m. and before the party bus left at 10 p.m., Dunn saw Shannon drink alcohol and take one ecstasy pill.

"She had wanted to try it for a few weeks," Dunn testified.

Dunn added that Shannon told her she paid Spencer $2 for the pill.

About an hour into the bus ride, Shannon "began acting peculiar," Dunn testified.

Dunn said she heard from three people that Shannon had taken a second pill.

When the bus returned to the host's home at 1 a.m., Dunn said that Shannon vomited and was walking like she was drunk.

The girls got a ride to the Turley home and Shannon was helped into a chair in the backyard.

As she sat in the yard, Shannon complained of a headache and vomited again.

She was taken into the house after Victoria Turley came home and placed in Spencer's bedroom. Victoria Turley remained with her.

Later, Dunn said, she heard Shannon screaming.

"It was a very blood-curdling scream," she said.

Dunn said Victoria Turley asked her to sit with Shannon briefly at around 4 a.m.

Dunn noticed Shannon was shivering, sweaty, and her arms were "locked and flexed in an unusual position."

At 5 a.m., Dunn and Spencer Turley returned to the room and took over watching Shannon. She made a strange gurgling sound, but was breathing when Dunn fell asleep.

Dunn was in tears as she recalled being woken up by someone yelling that Shannon wasn't breathing and her skin was cold.

"I was sitting in shock of what was happening," she said.
