Former Bacon associate gets grilled in cross-examination
A defence lawyer for Jamie Bacon suggested Tuesday that a key Crown witness was lying when he testified that Bacon was the man’s drug boss around the time another associate was targeted in a shooting.Lawyer Kevin Drolet directed the witness, who can only be identified as AB due to a court order, to statements he gave to police in 2013 about staying away from Bacon a few years earlier because he was a such a “heat score.
