On Monday, the court heard testimony from Pookiel McCabe, who was the 13th witness to take the stand in the trial.

McCabe told the court that he and Sandeson had known each other since 2007. Both attended Dalhousie University and became good friends. McCabe testified that he lived across the hall from Sandeson at an apartment building on Henry Street in Halifax.

He told the court that on the evening of Aug. 15, 2015, he was in his apartment with a friend when he heard a loud bang.
