Accused 'clocked' victim in Starbucks manslaughter case: Crown
Lawrence Sharpe punched a man inside a Burnaby Starbucks because the victim had been bullying his girlfriend, the Crown said Tuesday.Sharpe has pleaded not guilty to the July 2017 manslaughter of Michael Page-Vincelli, 22, at the coffee shop at the Kensington shopping mall.He testified that he and his girlfriend, Oldouz Pournouruz, followed Page-Vincelli into the Starbucks because he wanted to find out more about a dispute between Pournouruz and Page-Vincelli that preceded the fatal encounter.
She said her client was alone and isolated and only told Page-Vincelli that she would get her boyfriend to beat him up after a long exchange between the two outside a bank near the Starbucks. The suggestion to get her boyfriend was not a threat but merely a response to her being bullied by Page-Vincelli, said Smith-Gander.
