LeBeau took the stand in her defence last Tuesday claiming that. she would never have driven -as fast as the police. claim the vehicle was driving - in excess of ISO km. • "I don't think I would ever drive that fast," said LeBeau. The 22 -year-old Brucefield woman faces 11 charges relating to the Nov. 24. 1996 accident that killed Neal.Atchison and Pamela King of Clinton, and Brian Hill and Mark Webster of Stanley Township. LeBeau and Brandon Gardner of Vanastra were both seriously injured in the crash. LeBeau has pleaded not guilty to four counts of criminal negligence causing death. criminal negligence causing bodily harm. four counts of impaired driving causing death. impaired driving causing bodily harm. and driving over the legal limit. LeBeau suffered extensive injurie=s from the accident,' and testified that she spent more than 90 days'in the hospital after the accident. The 'car involved in the accident was leased"by 'LeBeau in June 1,995. 'She testified that she liked the look of the car and that power wasn't a deciding' factor when she chose it. Before the accident, she said that she had been given a speeding ticket for driving 105 km/hrin an 80 zone. 'County Road 31 was a familiar road to LeBeau. She said she lives about five miles from the' road and when she drove north from Varna. took the downward curve towards the Bayfield River with caution. slowing down to about 70-80 kin/hr. She also testified that it was not uncommon lor her let- her friends or family drive her car. ' • "I was proud of my car and I wanted somebody else to like it too." .she testified before Defence lawyer Glen Carey'.' Site' testified that King and Gardner had driven her car before but Atchison never had. She added that he often asked her'if he could drive it but was never in a• situation where he could. She said it was her custom that if she had been drinking. they would either stay over night where they were.'get a ride with someone else or have someone else drive. LeBeau des'iribed herself as a social drinker and added that she sometimes became intoxicated. "On those occasions I wouldn't drive," she said. LeBeau also testified that she had previous problems with her car. She said that while driving in the United States. she drove through a stop sign because her brakes wouldn't work. She stopped for assistance and found that they suddenly did work. Her father took it to the dealer in Goderich to have it repaired and he had similar problems with no brakes but upon examination from a mechanic, they suddenly worked again. Because of the accident. LeBeau said that her memory is still a little "foggy". She said she had amnesia after the accident and now memories come back to her in "little bits here and there." • "Itried hard to remember because I want to know what happened," she said, adding that she wants to remember what happened for her friends' families. "I tried as hard as L can to remember Quoted 'I tried as hard as I canto remember what happened. A lot of memories come back like flashes' -- Sarah Ladaau what happened. A lot of memories come back like flashes," LeBeau testified that she. remembers getting ready for 'the party and ,picking up 'friends to gorto the party and that she was late getting there. She said that when they arrived at the party She remembers feeling "sober". She said that she remembers going to the bathroom with King and making up with her for an argument they had had and that the pair later went' with Atchison and Tim Gerrits to Gerrits':house. When they left the party. LeBeau said there was a lot of people talking around the cars and getting•,into the cars. She said she remembers leaving the Hill's driveway but can't remember what position she was sitting in the car. Then she said she remembers her car stopping. she leaned over on Hill. had her legs in the driver's area and Atchison .got into the driver's seat. Her last memory is of turning around to talk to King from the console and knowing that Hill was in the passenger seat. Atchison was -- in the driver's seat and King behind the driver's seat. "The next thing I recall ig being in the hospital,- she said. In cross examination by Crown Attorney Bob Morris. LeBeau testified that she remembers one of two other speeding tickets. One ticket was given in Goderich.in November 1994 'for travelling 65 km/hr. in a 50 zone. She said she doesn't remember another speeding ticket given in Goderich in November 1995 for travelling 65 in a 50 zone. She. also testified that she doesn't remember receiving a ticket in London for not wearing a seat belt. Morris also questioned LeBeau about a 52.5 Million. lawsuit against Huron County for the state of County Road 31, but LeBeau said it was filed from her lawyer and she knew very few details about the suit. The Crown wrapped up its case Monday with evidence from the Centre of Forensic Science. Keith Kelder, a forensic biologist from the centre. tested the driver and passenger air bag from the LeBeau vehicle for blood and saliva. Kelder had received blood samples from LeBeau. King's parents. Hill's parents, Webster's parents., as well as tissue samples from Atchison. Saliva found on the driver's air bag was female in origin and matched LeBgau's DNA. Kelder testified that the biological daughter of the King's was excluded as the source of .the saliva. ` , . , The DNA 'profile from the passenger air bag, male in • gender, was from the biological son of the' Hills.. The profile did not match Atchison or Webster. Blood found . on -.clic driver's air bag comes from a male but did not come from Atchison, Hill or Webster. No Comparison sample was done from Gardner. It • was later stated that he refused giving a sample.' Last Wednesday, the court heard testimony from a chemist from the CFS and an ' engineer from the University of Western Ontario. Brenda Burton examined' the air bag from LeBgau's car and was asked specifically to examine black and pink. colorations found oh the air bag. . • Burton testified .that -the black marks fotind in ' "striation's" on the• air bag - , contained similar chemical' elements found in mascara. Two pink marks found around the •black marks contained similar elements as eye shadows and a pink mark found below the black marks. contained similar elements to face powder. "Based on my analysis. I couldn't say these were not cosmetic, materials. said Burton, adding that she• tested a number of different make -ups to compare what was found on the air bag. Kevin McClafferty. from the University of Western Ontario, is an engineer who performs accident research. Testifying about airbag deployment, he said that an impact atd15-20 km/hr. will trigger an air bag to go off. The bag comes out at about 300 km/hr:. and .is fully inflated within '10-20- milliseconds. In his research. he said that a belted driver will hit the bag -with. their face and chest and- may -contact their' lower legs with the "knee bolster'..• An unbelted driver (no° occupants of the LeBeau. vehicle were belted) "occasionally can get over top of the bag and contact the windshielli header and has more severe contact with. the knee .bolster. "resulting,. -in- 'more severe_ lower extremity injuries." McClafferty also testified that the transferring .of bodily tluidS onto the bag is expected. especially from the driver. He .added that. with female drivers. makeup transfers onto the bag like a "stamp„ . "Makeup is good evidence Of occupant contact." he said. "Blood is not as good because. there are various ways they can.occur." `In cross examination:- McClafferty said it is more diff cult- to predict driver injuries with unbelted occupants in a• multiple impact•crash and added that with unbelted occupants they can move anywhere in the car.
