Clarifying answers to defence lawyers
WARNING: This post contains graphic details.
Crown lawyer Meaghan Cunningham asks E.M. about David Humphrey’s cross-examination. He is McLeod’s lawyer.
At one point, Humphrey said, “We have to enter a new character into this drama you’ve been telling us about,” in reference to E.M.’s boyfriend.
E.M. clarifies to Cunningham that she told the police right from the start she had a boyfriend. E.M. also clarifies the answers she gave to Dillon Dubé’s lawyer, Lisa Carnelos, about texts with her best friend in which she said she felt guilty.
E.M. says her guilt stemmed from cheating on her boyfriend by dancing and going home with McLeod.
In her cross-examination, Megan Savard, Carter Hart’s lawyer, asked E.M. about her memory gaps, particularly relating to the oral sex with three of the men and whether there were “negotiations” before the acts.
E.M. answers: “I know that it was already on the ground, on the bed sheet, with the men in front of me with their pants down. I can see that clearly and there was no conversation.”
