For the first time in nearly three days of testimony at the missing women inquiry, the prosecutor who dropped an attempted murder charge against serial killer Robert Pickton in 1998 has lost her composure.
It happened when Randi Connor was under cross-examination by a lawyer representing the interests of Vancouver’s downtown eastside.
Jason Gratl spent several minutes asking Connor about her reasons for determining a drug-addicted prostitute, who survived a bloody knife fight in 1997, was not a reliable witness.
“I couldn’t get a clear coherent interview. Even on your evidence, it’s a one to three hour interview and I’m wondering why you would spend that long in an interview with somebody who was incoherent to that extent? Because I cared! Because i cared about this case. Because I cared about what happened to her.”
The victim, whose name is under a court-ordered publication ban, is no longer a sex trade worker and heroin addict.
