A blind neighbour of James Satre gave emotional testimony about finding the homicide victim’s lifeless body by running his hands over what he initially thought was a log during testimony at Medicine Hat Court of Queen’s Bench Thursday in the Robert Hoefman trial.
But a withering cross-examination by defence counsel Ian McKay questioned just how blind the witness and neighbour of 63-year-old Satre really was, as the lawyer went over multiple instances in which statements by Joseph Dolan indicated he could see.
Hoefman, 59, is facing allegations he planned to kill an individual as part of a million-dollar shakedown scheme of another man, and is facing charges of first-degree murder and extortion in relation to events which took place between Oct. 10 and Nov. 8, 2017.
