I attended day one of second sex abuse trial of Father Dan Miller today. First and important: the trial continues on Friday morning (17 October 2014) at 10 am at the Pembroke courthouse. There is no court tomorrow: Friday 17 October is the next day.
I will blog a few thoughts tomorrow. I asked permission to tape (because arm in cast and unable to take notes). Permission denied! Without notes it is nigh to impossible to cover what transpires during any trial. I will do what I can. I do have a couple of pictures taken today to post – will get those up tomorrow.
The only person on the stand today was the complainant. The day ened with the Crown resting his case. A good part of the day was spent with Mr. Carew (Miller’s lawyer) badgering the witness mercilessly, parsing every word the complainant has uttered in the past., and doing all that he could do to discredit him
More to come
Enough for now
