Girl accused in fatal swarming of Toronto man dropped marker, not knife: defence | CBC News
Briefly

In the trial of two teen girls accused of the second-degree murder of Kenneth Lee, defense lawyers claim that what fell from one girl’s pocket was a marker, not a knife. The incident depicted security footage shows a violent group confrontation with Lee prior to his death. However, no knife has been recovered despite allegations that the younger girl stabbed Lee. The court faces challenges in determining the events that occurred during the chaotic altercation.
The Crown has pointed to two videos where it alleges the younger teen is seen with a knife after the incident.
Defense lawyers argued Monday that an item seen falling out of the girl's pocket after the incident was not a knife but a marker.
