Jury members involved in a murder trial on Nova Scotia's South Shore have begun watching video of the accused being questioned by police.

James Leopold is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his fiancée, Laura Lee Robertson, who was reported missing in April, 2011.

The victim's daughter and son attended court in Bridgewater Wednesday to watch the video of the police interview with Leopold.

"The video is very upsetting because I found he sits with no ounce of remorse or sorrow," says daughter Amanda Jones.

"I was upset and frustrated at first, but now I'm angry…because they asked him numerous times if he loved her, and he just couldn't answer it," says son Tim Robertson.

The body of Laura Lee Robertson was discovered two weeks after she was reported missing, in a wooded area in Greenfield, N.S. close to where the couple had been living.

The Crown says the video is a significant piece of evidence in the case, but the defence isn't commenting.

"The statement contains the admission of Mr. Leopold that he caused the death of Laura Lee Robertson," says Crown attorney Leigh-Ann Bryson.

She also says the most significant information will be heard in the last hour of the trial.

"You heard Sgt. Vardy testify this morning that James Leopold led the RCMP to the site of the body recovery, after the confession on the videotape finished," says Bryson.

The video is over eight hours long and it's expected it will take most of the day Monday to get through the rest of it.

The victim's children say they plan to attend court again on Monday to see the rest of the video, but they're not certain how much more of the trial they can take.

"I will not subject myself to having to listen to Jamie when he gets on the stand," says Jones. "I can't do that."

For now, she says she will remember her mother as a witty woman who enjoyed her co-workers and her community.

"I don't think a day went by that she didn't show a lot of love for her grandchildren," says Jones. "Those really became the centre of her happiness."

The trial is set to resume Monday in Bridgewater.
