‘I’m playing blind’ on who killed Barry and Honey Sherman, lead Toronto police detective admits

The homicide detective working the Barry and Honey Sherman case says that after almost eight years, he still has no idea where he is in the probe.

“I’m playing blind,” Det. Const. Dennis Yim told a court, using a sports analogy. “I don’t know where I am on the field.”

Yim was answering questions in a case where the Star is seeking access to police documents filed in support of search warrants. Yim explained that police have yet to clear any of the myriad “persons of interest” in the case. A person of interest, court has heard, is one rung below a suspect — for example, if someone has speculated to police that the person may have been involved, but there is no hard evidence one way or the other.
