Crown, defence try to sway Turpin jury toward their views of evidence
2016
Overview
Furthermore, witnesses testified [Kennedy]'s hair and body were dry immediately after the incident even though [James Paul Turpin] had said he'd scooped her out of a tub in which there had been running water. Numerous doctors testifying for the Crown told the jury the extent, nature and severity of the damage to Kennedy's brain weren't consistent with Turpin's story. However, two defence experts said it was possible, if rare, for a child to die as a result of a fall from standing height in a bathtub. [Peter Corey] also pointed out that the Crown's medical experts couldn't say definitely that Kennedy's injuries weren't the result of an accident. The onus is on the Crown, he said, to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. All of the Crown's medical experts agreed Kennedy's injuries weren't consistent with the story Turpin told, she said. The prosecutor urged the jury to disregard the evidence of the defence's medical experts, noting their opinions were based on elements that weren't factual. Furthermore, unlike the Crown's experts, she said, the defence experts didn't back up their opinions with reviews of medical literature or comparable cases.
