But police made no meaningful attempt to record these new statements, and as a result they have not been preserved or shared with the defence, as required by law. In some cases, one complainant revealed she had read details in the media of a different complainant’s story, details that would later turn up in the testimony of both. In other cases, new details emerged for the first time, such as one woman having regarded Stronach as a “fatherly figure.” Police asked the women about worrying inconsistencies and omissions that might trip them up under cross-examination. But rather than making a video and audio record of this crucial aspect of the investigation, all that remains for disclosure to the defence, Shemesh argued, are a few vague notes made by police that reflect simply what they took notice of, but not the context of any questioning.
