Defense council for suspended Mountie in child porn trial speaks up
Defense lawyer Mark Brayford finally spoke up during the third day of suspended RCMP officer Aiden Pratchett’s trial for child pornography charges.
Brayford dug his heels in about using Detective Sergeant Darren Parisien as an expert witness.
Brayford accused Parisien of being antagonistic towards Pratchett during an interrogation on Dec. 22, 2014, before Pratchett was officially charged.
“To say his behaviour was condescending would be kind,” Brayford said of Parisien’s tone.
