Lawyers representing the families of victims of the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020 want 18 police officers to testify at the public inquiry into their actions during and after the murders.
周四早上，纳沙尼亚·纳哈瓦，律师与国家警察联邦，代表较低级官员10人的工会要求大规模伤亡委员会（MCC）接受一份报告尼古拉斯卡尔顿。Carleton是一名Regina教授，他在第一个受访者中学习创伤，包括警察。
Carleton的报告将用于支持Nijhawan的论点，即任何人员都不应该作证，因为它将重新创建它们，而MCC的任务是进行“创伤知情”查询。
But before Carleton’s report could be accepted, the commissioners had to accept him as a “expert” witness. Certifying a witness as an expert is common in court — unlike other witnesses, certified experts are allowed to express opinions related to their expertise. Most times, defence lawyers simply accept the qualifications of the expert; sometimes the certification of expertise is contested, but I’ve never seen an expert fail to be certified.
然而，MCC专员拒绝接受Carleton的报告，实际上拒绝Nijhawan试图将Carleton作为专家认证。专员的决定追踪了Carleton的交叉检查，主要是由罗布普罗，代表一大群受害者家庭的律师。
Pineo指出，Carleton从公共安全加拿大和其他联邦机构获得了超过1100万美元，主要用于涉及RCMP的研究，包括直接由RCMP直接资助的有效的16,000美元合同。潜在的利益冲突是显而易见的。
此外，Carleton尚未治疗18名官员中的任何一个，实际上从未遇到过任何人，所以这对他来说是一种延伸，让他对可能的创伤中的任何一个人尤其是通过作证来尤其经验。
尽管Nijhawan未能获得18名官员未能获得毯子豁免，但代表家庭的律师必须在委员会之前为18个作证作证之前进行案件。The families’ lawyers argued their cases for eight of the officers Thursday, and the lawyers for the National Police Federation (Nijhawan), the federal crown lawyer representing the RCMP (Lori Ward), and even the commission’s own lawyer (Jennifer Cox) made counter-arguments.
剩余的10个潜在的RCMP证人将于周一讨论。
从周四制作的论点中，这里是家庭希望官员作证的一些概况的概要。
杀手队在晚上10:45后离开了portapique吗？
A still from a video taken at 10:51pm, April 18, 2020, from the Wilson’s Gas Stop in Great Village
MCC的律师提出了一项时间表，旨在通过“蓝莓野地道”和棕色循环在星期六下午10:45左右提出杀手。支持时间表的一部分证据是一个颗粒状的视频of what appears to be an RCMP cruiser passing Wilson’s gas station in Great Village at 10:51pm.
这个假设的一个问题是在那一刻，CST。Chris Grund在Portapique和Great Village之间的2号高速公路前往Portapique。这意味着，如果这真的是杀手的汽车通过威尔逊，格兰多必须把他传递在双车道高速公路2 - 一辆看起来像RCMP汽车的汽车，在相反的方向上超过100千克。然而，在采访中，格伦说他没有看到这样的车。
这个家庭想要把勇气放在待命的讲话中对他来说，深入了解他是否有任何方法，他可以简单地错过看到杀手的车。
The families’ lawyers indicated that they don’t believe it is the killer’s car in the Wilson’s video, which if so would undermine the entire timeline. They didn’t say as much, but I got the sense that they think the killer was in Portapique much later than 10:45, perhaps many hours later.
If the killer did not pass Grund in the minutes after 10:45, then it’s possible he killed many of his victims in Portapique — particularly Joy and Peter Bond and Emily Tuck, Aaron Tuck, and Jolene Oliver on Cobequid Court, and possibly Joanne Thomas and John Zahl on Portapique Beach Road — after 10:45.
而且，可能是意味着延迟在棕色循环上建立RCMP“遏制点”（直到周日到凌晨5点之前没有建立）给予了足够的时间来逃避Portapique。

The first four officers to arrive at Portapique Saturday night were Cst. Stuart Beselt (10:25:57), Cst. Adam Merchant (10:28:53), Cst. Aaron Patton (10:28:57), and Cst. Vicki Colford (10:32:16).
Beselt, Merchant and Patton formed an IARD (Immediate Action Rapid Deployment) team and moved on foot into the community (see below). But Colford, who had no IARD training, stayed near, but not在，Portapique Beach Road的顶部创造了障碍或遏制点。
The families’ lawyers said they want to know more about why Colford chose the spot she chose for the roadblock, and not further up, at the intersection of the road with Highway 2. The lawyers didn’t express why this was important to them, but they clearly had something in mind.
决定步行
Berelt遍布Andrew和Kate Macdonald在Portapique Beach Road的北部驾驶。安德鲁麦克唐纳曾被枪杀，并告诉埃特·他被驾驶一辆白车的人拍摄。
Beselt later told investigators that he formed the IARD team and went into Portapique on foot because the Moncton shootings had taught the RCMP not to be in their vehicles, as their cars become “a billboard” for an active shooter.
Yet MacDonald had just told Beselt that the active shooter was himself in a vehicle and was driving around shooting people around the community. So why didn’t Beselt and the others also drive?
IARD团队为什么不先去果园海滩开车？

来自Portapique的前911次呼叫来自杰米布莱尔10:01;她报告说，她的丈夫在前甲板上射击，两到三分钟进入电话，在手机死之前听到了杰米布莱尔在拍摄。百楼住在123个果园海滩车。
两个孩子很快离开了他们的房子，然后去了136个果园海滩开车的隔壁，这是丽莎麦卡林的房子。麦克莱利已经离开了房子，调查杀手仓库的火灾，但她的两个孩子仍然在房子里，并被两个布莱尔儿童加入。孩子们在10:16叫911。
那些911电话都进来之前被逃到Portapique，而他在距离Portapique之路时，他至少有一些电话的细节，最值得注意的是，有人遇难，而且电话来自两个房屋乌节海滩驾驶。
但是，当BEPELT和MERCHANT进入Portapique时，他们在Portapique Beach路上直行南方，而不是向左右转到果园海滩车。他们很快加入Patton，他们在Portapique Beach Road上的南方。
Why didn’t the three go directly to the site of the 911 calls?
Lawyer Michael Scott put the question more directly: had the IARD team turned left and gone directly to the Blair house, might it had been possible to save Greg Blair’s life?
托马斯/扎赫尔屋
如果他们在293个Portapique路上看到托马斯/ Zahl房子，那么这个家庭也想问Beselt和其他两个IARD团队成员。如果是的话，那么。
It’s evident that the families suspect Joanne Thomas and John Zahl were killed much later than the MCC’s timeline suggests.
律师没有这么说，但是我的意识是家人在托马斯/扎赫尔谋杀的时间里，在早期的时间里，将这些谋杀与杀手队又来可能不太可能穿过树林回到仓库。
Placing the Thomas/Zahl murders at an early time allows the commission’s lawyers to time the killer’s exit from Portapique at 10:45. But if they were killed later in the night, then the killer’s exit would have to be much later as well.
Cobequid法院
没有人知道当Cobequid法院的居民were killed.
And their bodies weren’t discovered until 3pm on Sunday, 17 hours after the killing began.
The families want to question the three officers who were at the scene when the bodies were discovered.
与孩子的互动
家庭的律师提出了与RCMP与四个孩子的互动有关的两个问题。
The first is around what training the officers had related to dealing with children in an active shooter situation.
第二个问题是CST的对话。克里克里克里克里克。Dave Lilly与孩子们有了儿童，因为两名官员在从Portapique救出后立即与他们在一起。
特别是，在星期天2:37，莉莉叫SGT。Brian Rehill。雷希尔问他如果孩子们已经告诉莉莉对杀手的任何动机。lilly回应：
......根据孩子们在这里......他们说'我认为加布里埃尔的女朋友和他分手了'......说，'我觉得他疯狂了，开始射击每个人并杀死每个人的杀戮
这是第一次向谋杀狂欢推出动机第一次。但是哪个小孩说，孩子在哪里得到了那就是发生的事情的概念？
律师想问一下莉莉那。
