Trevor Pardy trial: Triffie Wadman left bleeding on street while ambulance kept at bay
The lead investigator who probed the death of Triffie Wadman says paramedics weren't able to reach the 30-year-old woman, who was bleeding out on the street, for 17 minutes after the ambulance arrived.
Sgt. Colin McNeil testified Thursday at Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court in St. John's that an ambulance arrived on Boggy Hall Place in the west end of St. John's at 1:13 a.m. Oct. 1, 2011.
The ambulance arrived after several 911 calls were made, including by Wadman and a man alleged to be Pardy.
McNeil testified it wasn't until 17 minutes after paramedics arrived that they were able to reach Wadman. The Crown alleges Pardy wouldn't drop his gun, subsequently delaying medical treatment for Wadman.
The ambulance brought Wadman to hospital at 1:43 a.m. She was pronounced dead at 2:10 a.m. Wadman had bled to death.
As testimony continued Friday, McNeil said Wadman may have survived if paramedics were able to reach her and administer medical treatment right away.
It was because of that, McNeil said, that police charged Pardy with first-degree murder. He said Pardy wouldn't drop the gun to allow officers to treat Wadman.
Pardy, 30, is charged with first-degree murder.
On Thursday, a female juror was dismissed because of qualifications, leaving seven women and four men on the jury.
