WINNIPEG—A defence lawyer is arguing that justice for a 15-year-old girl whose body was found dumped in a Winnipeg river shouldn’t mean injustice for the man charged with murder in her death. He says that alone is enough to create reasonable doubt, and Cormier shouldn’t be convicted just because of his rough lifestyle. The Crown argues Cormier’s own words prove his guilt. “We say Mr. Cormier was telling the truth when he said he didn’t kill Tina Fontaine,” said Kavanagh. We say that raises doubt and you must acquit.”He said the are too many holes in the Crown’s case.
