There has been a lot of conflicting testimony at the trial of Helen Proulx.The 39 year old Grassy Narrows woman faces charges of Assulting a Police Officer and having a weapon dangerous to the public peace.
Proulx was shot after brandishing a knife at Constable Kathrine Moyer.
Moyer told the court that the shot Proulx twice because she feared for her life.
Eye witnesses can't agree whether Proulx's weapon was a butter knife, a paring knife or a steak knife.
Witnesses also had different ideas of what Proulx was doing.
Some suggested she was trying to keep the police officer from taking her knife away
from her, while others suggested she was jabbing the knife in a threatening manner.
Proulx's Lawyer Greg Brodsky told the court that police don't shoot people because they
are intoxicated and don't shoot people because they want to commit suicide.
He says his client had no intent to hurt Constable Moyer and should be found not guilty.
