Jennifer Winkler had a talent for design and drawing, her father Dale said.
A teacher and three of her former high school students say there were no warning signs before a fatal stabbing unfolded in their Edmonton-area classroom on the morning of March 15, 2021.
The gallery in Wetaskiwin's Court of King's Bench was packed with many of Winkler's friends and family members as witnesses gave evidence.The teacher and students, who can't be named due to a publication ban, all identified Pountney as the attacker. They testified that he rushed at Winkler while she sat at her desk during a mid-morning break in their social studies lesson.
"We did have discussion with everybody and Dylan put up his hand, which was out of the ordinary," she said. Just minutes later, the teacher said a sudden movement in the doorway caught her eye, and she looked up to see the accused stabbing Winkler.People in the courtroom wiped tears from their eyes as the teacher described the sudden chaos.
The teacher said she didn't recall Pountney saying anything, but told the court that he swung a knife at Winkler "many" times."Once he ran out of the room, I remember looking at the kids to my right, and they were all just looking at me and we were all shocked." "She got up really quickly and then she stumbled and fell to the floor not too far from the door. ... I'm not sure what was going through my mind because of the state of shock I was in."All three students said they saw the stabbing, but they didn't have a clear memory of all the details.
