December 12, 2008 — There were kind words for an O.P.P. witness from a lawyer at the Cornwall Public Inquiry. In an unusual move, Michael Neville who represents two men accused of abuse, shared a few comments about former Detective Inspector Pat Hall after questioning him yesterday. (Hear audio clip below) Hall has testified for nine days about his role in a prominent sex abuse investigation dubbed Project Truth. Neville represents former probation officer Ken Seguin and Father Charles MacDonald but neither have ever been convicted. Hall's testimony continues when hearings resume Monday at 9:30.
