TORONTO - Defence lawyers for a man accused of running over a Toronto police officer suggested Friday the officer's partner embellished her account of the events leading up to his death because she felt bad about what happened.
Defence lawyers on Friday showed new security footage from the garage that they said contradicts Forbes's account. Forbes, who had never seen the video before, broke down in tears and requested a short break before continuing. “What I'm going to suggest to you that the replay in your head is not consistent with the objective evidence,” Hasan countered.
Hasan suggested she and Northrup in fact rushed toward the vehicle, and that she was much more “aggressive” in her approach than she previously indicated.
