Formenton’s lawyer finishes off his questioning by suggesting the victim purposefully lied about her weight to make herself seem smaller and was egging on the players to have to do things to her. Though, interestingly, he was going to read out a list of phrases attributed to her from the Hockey Canada investigation but Hart’s lawyer whispered something to him and instead he just suggested she was generally egging them on. He also suggests she took Formenton to the bathroom, but she insists that isn’t true, so we know what Formenton’s defence will be.
Dube’s lawyer is now up. Only thing of note so far is the suggestion that the victim was mad when she wasn’t the center of attention.
Definitely a ton of coordination between the defence lawyers. Doesn’t look like any of the men are going to present a differing story, so will be interesting to see if the stories stay straight during cross examination.
