With his head slumped above his knees inside a tiny interrogation room, James Turpin repeatedly told police officers he would not speak to them after the death of two-year-old Kennedy Corrigan.
"I'm not talking. I'm not talking," the Court of Queen's Bench in Fredericton heard him say in the video Tuesday.
Turpin is on trial for manslaughter in the April 2004 death of the toddler at the home where she lived with her mother in Central Blissville, about 30 kilometres southeast of Fredericton.
