The trial of a 14-year-old girl accused of fatally stabbing Kenneth Lee, a homeless man, during a group attack resumed closing submissions after delays. The Crown argues she is the only one who stabbed Lee, shown in security footage. Despite her plea of not guilty to second-degree murder and a rejected manslaughter plea, the defense contends the evidence is insufficient to prove her guilt, emphasizing the inability to identify the exact moment of the stabbing. Five other teens involved have pleaded guilty to lesser charges, with more trials pending.
Prosecutors argue the girl was the only one in the group who could have stabbed Lee twice during the three-minute-20-second swarming, which was captured on security video.
The defence maintains the girl wasn't the one who dealt the lethal blow and argue the Crown has fallen 'far, far short of proof beyond a reasonable doubt' for second-degree murder.
