He is accused of shooting Shatford at about 4:25 a.m. on Nov. 17, 2019. Despite numerous surgeries at the Saint John Regional Hospital, Shatford died on Dec. 18. As he turned, he said, he saw Shatford fall to the ground. It was under cross-examination by defence lawyer Brian Munro that Middleton was asked about sending a Facebook message to Breau not long after the shooting. After a short time — and some discussion in the absence of the jury and Middleton — the jury was brought back in and cross-examination resumed.
