Defence now asking about Al-Rawi’s response to the kiss, he says he doesn’t think he gave any reaction

Al-Rawi testifies he isn’t allowed to transport passengers if the car isn’t “qualified.” A little unclear what that means except that the seat was wet. Al-Rawi says complainant refused to get out of the cab

Defence asks not call the police at this stage? Al-Rawi: Why should I call the police? She didn’t do anything wrong.

Through Arabic translator he tells the court “It was difficult for me to take any hint from her where should would like to go” and he says he asked multiple times

Al-Rawi says he was driving 15-20 km/hr toward Atlantic St (where he was arrested) when the complainant stretched out with her legs between the two front seats while her back remained in the backseat.

He also testifies he got the impression she wasn't happy he was taking her back to where he picked her up, but he didn't explain why

"Nobody can drive in this manner" Al-Rawi says he responded. He testifies the complainant laughed and asked what was wrong with him

The maps/photos are all too far away for me to see but they're entered as evidence

Defence: why was a call not made to police? Al-Rawi: My intention was to take her back to where I picked her up because police cars are usually positioned there (near Pizza Corner)

Defence asking what could he see? Al-Rawi says assumed she was taking off her pants. Defence asking why. He says the way she moved her legs. He offers to re-enact what she did with her feet with his hands

Al-Rawi says he noticed a police vehicle when he looked out a side mirror on the taxi

Al-Rawi testifies he told the complainant a police vehicle was behind them and says she laughed and said she didn’t care. He got the impression she didn't believe him

Hutchinson asks about position of the complainant’s legs and feet. Al-Rawi says “not logical and not realistic” they were raised because the complainant was in a position that does not allow her to raise her feet, he says feet were on the centre console between 2 front seats

Here's the recap of Const. Monia Thibault's testimony in January when this retrial started, she told the court the complainant was naked from waist down and her feet were on the back of the front seats cbc.ca/news/canada/no…

Hutchinson now asks about when the police officer arrived. Al-Rawi says he'll explain if he can speak without interruption

He says officer asked him to turn off car/hand over keys with the F word. He says he couldn’t do that without putting the car in park, but the police officer was telling him not to touch anything.

Defence wondering why he didn't call police. Al-Rawi says no time and Hutchinson asks his client to let him finish before responding

Now defence asking about the lights on the car and the spacing on the road. Al-Rawi says his lights were on and vehicle 6-7 feet from right curb, he says he thought police had to stop because they couldn't pass him

Back. Hutchinson asks about body position when Al-Rawi told complainant police were coming. He responds saying his body was facing the front and his face turned toward her.

Defence asks about time. From officer coming to window and him getting out of the vehicle, Al-Rawi it wouldn’t be more than 15 sec

Hutchinson asks Al-Rawi to describe the police officer’s voice. He says she used a high voice and had her radio on her left shoulder. He thought she was asking for help but he didn’t know exactly what she was saying beyond the word “immediately”
