Kentville pastor trial

In Kentville, an expert in memories took the stand at the Brent Hawkes trial.

The alleged victim told court that Hawkes forced oral sex on him during a drunken gathering at Hawkes Greenwood trailer.

Tim Moore, a professor at York University; testified that memory is unreliable from the outset, adding that alcohol can block its transfer from short-term to long-term.

The Crown will call some rebuttal witnesses, then both lawyers are expected to give their closing arguments; following that.
