Inconsistencies the Focus of Collet Stephan’s Cross Examination
LETHBRIDGE – It was another lengthy day in court on Friday, as the Crown conducted the cross examination of Collet Stephan.
She is co-accused with her husband David of failing to provide the necessities of life, for the March, 2012 death of their 18-month old son Ezekiel. He died as a result of bacterial meningitis.
Collet spent all day on the stand, addressing numerous inconsistencies between statements she made while her son was in hospital and in the testimony she provided Thursday in the trial.
Shortly after Ezekiel was admitted to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, several doctors, an RCMP officer and two members of the Social Services Response Team (SSRT) conducted interviews with Collet and David.
