Former Sudbury Regional Police forensic officer Rick Waugh also testified today that the blood evidence found under Renée Sweeney’s fingerprints was found to be of little value
A former Sudbury Regional Police officer testifying in the Robert Steven Wright murder trial admitted on the stand today to falsifying his duty notes, although he said he did it under duress.
“My entry in my notebook on Feb. 10 is not accurate as to how the fingerprint was identified,” said Waugh. “I listened to people I shouldn't have listened to, Evanochko, and he told me that because it was my case I needed to take the lead and make the identification. My notes reflect that I made the identification,” which he now says he did not, in fact, make.
He testified he continued to look at the prints, doubting the accuracy of the match, and was “shocked” when Fetterly was charged with Sweeney’s murder on Feb. 10, 1998, while already in custody on an unrelated matter. A photo Waugh took of the bottle was shown to the jury. Beside the bottle in the photograph is a sheathed 10-12-centimetre knife with a short, ornate handle.
Waugh did note there were two more pieces of evidence related to Fetterly that he received on May 26, 1998: two cigarette butts, recently smoked by Fetterly. They were obtained by another officer and given to him to be put into evidence. During Lacy’s cross-examination of Waugh, he noted that there was another shoe print found in the store, on a video box. It read “ooks” as though the “Br” had not imprinted, said Waugh.
