Umar Zameer has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the death of Det. Const. Jeffrey Northrup.
Northrup died on July 2, 2021 after he was hit by a vehicle in an underground parking garage at Toronto City Hall.
Court has heard Northrup and his partner, both plainclothes officers, were in the garage to investigate a stabbing.
Zameer, who was with his pregnant wife and their young son at the time, was not involved in the stabbing.
Prosecutors allege Zameer caused Northrup’s death by making a series of manoeuvres with his car while the officers were nearby, but the defence says it was an accident and neither Zameer nor his wife knew the pair were officers.
