Lawyer for refugee accused of rape and murder of 13 year old says victim was asking for it

Ibrahim Ali’s lawyer says the 13-year-old girl he’s accused of murdering in a British Columbia park wasn’t the “innocent” depicted in a “rose-coloured” portrayal by the Crown at trial.

Kevin McCullough told the B.C. Supreme Court jury in his closing arguments that the version of the girl’s lifestyle presented by the Crown is “at best, a partial picture” or “at worst, a lie.”

He says the Crown’s case rests on the belief it would have been out of character for the teen to have sex with Ali.
