The lawyer for a former Ottawa firefighter accused of assaulting and choking a non-binary colleague at a Barrhaven fire station nearly two years ago continued picking away at the complainant's version of events Monday, calling their account of what happened before, during and after the incident "fantastical."Former firefighter Eric Einagel, right, walks with his lawyers Dominic Lamb, centre, and Jonathan Nadler, left, toward the Ottawa Courthouse on May 8, 2024.
Weaver testified that Hills told them to "run and hide" from Einagel, but Hills testified she did not. "I thought I was going to die and I thought Eric was going to kill me," Weaver replied, an assertion they've repeated throughout their testimony. X-rays revealed no fractures, and a physical exam ruled out other acute injuries including a concussion or hearing damage. Early the next morning, Weaver was sent home with some Advil and a note to take five days off work.
Firefighter Megan Hills drew this diagram showing her recollection of the position of Einagel's hand on Weaver's neck. The drawing was entered as an exhibit in court last week. Lamb said despite these injuries, Weaver was able to run a 30-kilometre race in Hamilton the following March, and a 50-kilometre ultra trail run that May.
