Sure. That's not what I'm saying though. You argued the witnesses didn't help the Crown. I disagreed. It had nothing to do with her testimony at all, which is probably more where the reasonable doubt exists.
But from the witnesses, Steenbergen confirmed that he had phonecalls with Dube and Foote telling him not to mention anything, that he's sticking with the concocted story that they went up for food and were surprised to see a naked woman when we know that McLeod sent messages about having a three-way and blowjob, not food, to the group chat (admittedly I'm not sure who he all texted that but it was numerous numbers).
So them saying "hey guys just everyone tell the same thing;
the truth. Also
the truth is this. And sure it doesn't go at all with the facts but stick with it" would be clearly picked up by the judge. I don't think it hurt the Crown's case, it shined light on the parroted story these guys made up and were sticking with and the Crown used that in their argument that this was a concocted story so that's why they all had the same statements.
