A Summary Of The Matthew Penney Case

1. 01/01/2014, Matthew Penney's body was discovered copying on the Oakfield Park Road, a country region outside Halifax. He had been shot in the head. On January fifth, the police addressed Caitlin Thompson about Mr. Penney going to a New Year's Eve party at her home. The police came to trust Ms. Thompson had deluded them and she was in this way accused of open fiendishness. At the end of the Crown's case, Mr. Craggs made a movement for a coordinated decision of vindication on the premise that there is no proof Ms. Thompson effectively aim a blameless individual to be associated with having conferred an offense in connection to Mr. Penney's demise. Mr. Craggs presents that throwing doubt on someone else is a fundamental component of the charge
Mr. Craggs likewise presents that what Ms. Thompson advised police was not to redirect doubt far from herself but rather from others and that doing as such isn't an offense under segment 140. Ms. Thompson told police on January fifth there had been a little New Year's Eve party at the home she imparted to Jason MacKenzie on 3 Springhill Road in Dartmouth. Mr. MacKenzie had conveyed more than three companions to welcome in the New Year – Tyler Berry and his sweetheart, Keisha Slawter-Vassell, and Matthew Penney. Ms. Thompson told the examiners Mr. Penney left after 12 pm and she didn't know where he was going. Police agents directed a broad scan for confirmation of Mr. Penney's developments in the early morning hours of January first. They turned up nothing. In February, they got data that demonstrated Mr. Penney had not left the Thompson/MacKenzie home as asserted by Ms. Thompson. They refocused their consideration on the home and recovered some important confirmation out of trash from the living arrangement that had been set at the control. On March 20, 2014 Ms. Thompson, Mr. MacKenzie, Mr. Berry and Ms. Slawter-Vassell were captured for kill. The trial prove has included Ms. Thompson's cross examination by police on March
