Oak Bay police Sgt. Mike Martin came under intense cross-examination Friday by defence lawyer Kevin McCullough, who Martin criticized for his approach during pre-trial hearings.

A police officer testifying at the trial of a father accused of murdering his two daughters said Friday that he was “shocked” at the ferocity of a defence lawyer in the case.

On Friday, the officer stood up well under intense cross-examination by defence lawyer Kevin McCullough. Martin told the jury Friday that he was “shocked and surprised” when McCullough presented a video clip of the Bernoties interview during a pre-trial hearing, which occurred in the absence of the jury, several months ago.

“The surprise was that I didn’t know about it. The shock was the ferocity you presented it to me and told me to go home and do homework on it. I found that quite shocking that you asked me to go home and search through the internet and see this media release and I was taken aback and shocked by it.” “The tone that you came at me with that day, in the anger, and I felt belittled when I was told to go home and do homework, is not something that I see all the time from respectful people.”
