Anthony Nelson, 55, took the stand Tuesday at neighbour Paul Tregear’s trial and said he was still holding the barrel of the gun when he realized he was hurt
An Otter Point man fought back tears as he testified Tuesday in his neighbour’s trial, describing a struggle with his neighbour over a rifle that left him with a bullet in his torso.
Nelson said he called out to his wife, who was inside their home, to phone the police and tell them somebody was in their yard with a gun. Nelson said he grabbed the barrel of the gun with his left hand and pushed it away. The man moved back and then jammed the gun into his stomach, Nelson told the jury.He said he “started unloading fists on him,” but he couldn’t get the gun away from him.
He was rushed to hospital, where he went into surgery and had 18 inches of his small intestine removed, he said.Cross-examination by Tregear’s lawyer, Neil Brooks, about previous statements by Nelson and the strength of his memory led to testy exchanges, with Nelson at times raising his voice. Brooks questioned Nelson about a possible fire ban in March 2022, when his son hosted a bonfire on their property.
