Lawyer for Quebec truck attack accused says pedestrian deaths were an accident
- Steeve Gagnon faces accusations of three first-degree murders and nine attempted murders stemming from a truck incident that occurred on March 13, 2023, in Amqui, Quebec.
- Gagnon's lawyer argued the crash was an accident caused by his client reaching for an e-cigarette pod, causing momentary inattention while driving.
- The lawyer argued that the vehicle mounted the curb in five locations, two of which were free of pedestrians, undermining the assertion of intentional planning.
- Hugo Caissy argued before the jury that while Gagnon's account was careless, it remained believable, emphasizing that there is not enough proof to establish premeditation.
- Caissy urged the jury to acquit Gagnon, asserting the deaths resulted from an accident rather than a criminal act.
