Former girlfriend of Robby Polchies testifies to witnessing murder

The former girlfriend of Robby Polchies testified to watching Polchies shoot and kill Corey Sisson with a shotgun. The testimony comes in the third week of Polchies's murder trial in Fredericton. 

Jahradd Williams, who also goes by "Jo", detailed the events of July 29, 2019 -- that after taking drugs, Polchies shot Sisson on a wooded trail in Noonan.

Polchies, of Kingsclear First Nation, is on trial for first-degree murder in the death of Sisson, 19.

Williams, 31, told the court that she first became romantically involved with Polchies in 2017.  She has two children with him.

"We started to date, shortly after that we moved in," she said. 

Williams told the court that she and Polchies lived together in her apartment on Barton Crescent during the summer of 2019.

It's the same apartment police searched and found a spent shotgun shell and clothes similar to those that Polchies and Wiliams were pictured wearing the day of the alleged crime. 

Williams told the court she has been sober for a year, but she said at the time in 2019, the couple were into heavy drug use.

"Anything I could really get my hands on, honestly," she said. 

Williams testified to using marijuana, pills and methamphetamine. 

Crown prosecutor Christopher Levigne asked her to describe what it's like to be on methamphetamine. 

You get spacey, she said, "It's a very, ecstasy high type deal." 

Williams told the court Polchies wasn't himself when he used meth. 

"What happened on July 29, 2019 that forces you to come here?" Levigne asked her.
