Defence lawyers say the death of a Toronto police officer who was crushed by a car was not a murder but a tragic accident caused by a misunderstanding.
He says Zameer and his wife thought they were being ambushed by criminals when the officers rushed towards them in an underground parking lot late at night. Prosecutors, meanwhile, told jurors Zameer chose to make a series of manoeuvres with his car while plainclothes police officers were close by, hitting Northrup and crushing the officer’s body under the vehicle.
