Trial Details
Forensic evidence became central during the Tony Humby sexual abuse trial on Thursday, November 27. The CBC video clip, lasting 1:43, covers this news event. Rob Antle from CBC reported on the courtroom developments.
Key Testimony
A DNA specialist from the RCMP's crime lab in Ottawa analyzed materials seized from Humby's residence. DNA on a couch in the trailer was 35 quadrillion times more likely to originate from the complainant than a random Canadian Caucasian individual. Another sample on a bedspread matched both the complainant (45 million times more likely) and Humby (110,000 times more probable).
“I cannot specify when or how the DNA was deposited. I can only confirm its presence.”
Florence Célestin's testimony wrapped up that afternoon. Humby faces 72 counts of sexual violence against 11 minors.
