Closing arguments expected today in trial of man accused of running over Toronto cop

Prosecutors and defence lawyers are expected to make their final submissions today in the trial of a man accused of running over a Toronto police officer.

Zameer has testified he didn’t know Northrup and his partner – who were in plain clothes – were police officers and he got scared when two strangers rushed towards his car in the largely empty parking lot shortly after midnight. Three police officers who witnessed the incident testified Northrup was standing in the middle of the laneway in front of the car with his hands outstretched when he was run over. Two of them said Northrup fell on the hood and then slid off.

The expert called by the defence said Northrup would not have been visible to Zameer when he was on the ground because he was in the car’s blind zone. He also noted there was no damage to the hood or front of the car, which he would expect to see if a man of Northrup’s stature had been hit head-on.
