Analyzing the Hockey Canada trial [4]

Analyzing the Hockey Canada trial [4]

[Part 4 of 5] We continue to unpack the confusing timeline of Room 209 - including the controversy around crown witness Brett Howden and the alleged slap and “splits” incidents, leading up to the verdicts and how the country reacted to them. At the end, Kristi shares her personal opinion about what likely happened in that hotel room — and why the verdicts would have remained the same anyway. The difference is in how the judge got there.


We’ll also be looking at:

  • Why the court zeroed in on E.M.’s level of intoxication
  • Her supposed motive to fabricate evidence
  • The reasons for the judge’s ultimate conclusion that E.M.’s evidence was “not credible or reliable”
  • Why - despite saying rape myths and stereotypes would be avoided, the judge’s written decision reads like the opposite
  • Public speculation about why this case went to trial at all
  • The damaging impact of this trial



Content Warning: Graphic details of sexual acts.


Please note: this series does not dispute the judge’s not guilty verdicts.

Our position is that the framing of the evidence in the written decision was unnecessary and damaging, with impact that extends far beyond the trial.
