Keagan Nelson-Smith stood trial at Prince Albert Court of King's Bench, accused of stabbing Venne, 20, at a wake in La Ronge on June 3, 2020.
“Numerous issues arose with the credibility and reliability of these witnesses,” Danyliuk wrote, noting almost every witness said they were intoxicated at the time, and some said they didn’t even see the second fight when Venne was stabbed.
In court, she identified Nelson-Smith as the person she saw stab Venne in the stomach during the second fight. He initially testified two other men attacked him “for no reason,” then said the men and Venne attacked him for stealing wood. He said he was by the fire when Venne was stabbed, that the accused did not have any issues with Venne, and that he never saw the accused with a knife.
Another man said he recognized Nelson-Smith as the man who was fighting with Venne the second time, because he was “haunted” by his face. Four other witnesses said they could not positively identify Nelson-Smith as the person who stabbed Venne.
