Crown wraps opening statement

Donkers wraps up her statement by saying there may be moments when the jury will find it difficult to put themselves in E.M.’s shoes.

She also tells the jury: “Be vigilant, and do not allow yourself to be tempted by the myths and stereotypes that are pervasive in society about how victims of sexual assault should behave.

“What jury service demands of you is an assessment of the evidence based only on what the law is, not what you thought the law was, or what you think it should be or what popular media may have led you to think.”
