“Mr. Haworth died approximately a half year later from a drug overdose,” Baharustani said.

Lindsay is charged in connection with a May 25, 2015, incident inside the parking garage of the Calgary Police Services arrest processing section.

The prosecutor said police attempted to interview the complainant following the incident.

“The police were unable to obtain statements from Mr. Haworth despite attempts to do so,” Baharustani said.

“The best they could get out of Mr. Haworth is he didn’t remember what happened.”

Baharustani said Lema will have to consider one issue is the case.

“At issue is whether the use of force applied to Daniel Haworth was reasonable … and necessary.”

Meanwhile, in evidence, court was shown videos of both Haworth in the back seat of the cruiser used by Lindsay and his then-partner, Const. Maxine Lapointe, and the alleged assault.

In the former, an agitated and clearly intoxicated Haworth complains about his arrest, which followed a complaint by his former girlfriend that he had stolen valuable coins from her.

Haworth repeatedly yells out Amanda Oberacher’s name and tells Lindsay, who is trying to read him his rights, that he didn’t steal anything.

“Stay in the vehicle, face forward,” Lindsay can be heard telling the suspect.

“Please don’t do this Amanda,” Haworth yells on the video. “This is what you want, Amanda?”

Baharustani said two videos from the parkade show Lindsay’s interaction with Haworth.
