ROCKLAND, Maine (AP) -- The trial of a Maine lobsterman charged with shooting a fellow lobsterman in a feud over lobster traps is in the hands of a jury.

Sixty-eight-year-old Vance Bunker is charged with elevated aggravated assault and other charges for shooting 44-year-old Christopher Young in the neck on a wharf on remote Matinicus Island last July.

Bunker's daughter, Janan Miller, is also on trial for reckless conduct for her role in the shooting.

The four-day trial has revealed details about the unofficial rules of the lobster industry dictating who can fish where.
