Homicide accused ‘Bonnie’ denies she was obsessive about the infidelity of ‘Unhealthy Boy’, who was co-accused with ‘Clyde’
Sarai Iglesias Lopez admits she was attracted to David Obregon Castro’s “bad boy personality” but rejects his defense attorney’s claim that she was obsessed with his infidelity.
The former lovers, both 29, stand outside the University Avenue Courthouse in Toronto for the first degree murder of Abbegail Elliot, who died on May 23, 2018 after being stabbed to death by one of the defendants on the balcony of their apartment at 70 Spadina Ave. was.
Prosecutors allege they were both guilty of carrying out a plot to kill Elliot after telling Iglesias Lopez of his fraud while she was in Mexico. Iglesias Lopez and Obregon Castro blame each other for the 21-year-old’s death.
On Tuesday, attorney Daisy McCabe-Lokos showed Lopez Iglesias a series of photos, including a large heart of rose petals Obergon Castro took on a bed, a selfie of the snuggly couple, and another posing in front of a mirror on a “date.” Night.”
“What these photos show isn’t a relationship you described,” McCabe-Lokos told Lopez Iglesias. She testified Monday that she had a conflicting love-hate relationship with Obergon Castro, who she said was physically abusive.
“I’m not sure if I would take pictures of my bruises or bruises on my body or (if) he ran into me with the gun … Pictures are meant to remember happy moments,” replied Lopez Iglesias, who displayed a steely demeanor during Tuesday’s cross-examination.
The lawyer made her point by showing phone records showing that Lopez Iglesias Obregon Castro called 91 times while she was in Mexico for less than a week. He did not answer fifty-two times. She also showed screenshots of text messages that the lawyer said showed she was “desperate” to keep in touch with him.
She said Lopez Iglesias was obsessed with Obregon Castro even after he stabbed his friend, shot a rival drug dealer and slept with several women.
“I can’t agree with what you said, I’m sorry,” said Lopez Iglesias.
McCabe-Lokos also displayed on a computer screen in the courtroom the prison letter Lopez Iglesias wrote to Obregon Castro after her arrest and signed “Somos Bonnie and Clyde LOL”.
“What you are telling him here is that despite all his infidelity, you still love him,” said the defense attorney.
“I know it is so, there is a reason for this letter,” replied Lopez Iglesias. She stated that at the time she wrote it, she had made a statement to the police who took the couple to Elliot’s apartment, contrary to Obregon Castro’s instructions to deny any involvement.
She wrote the letter after speaking to the police after she “screwed up,” she said. “I knew he would be mad about it and I was just trying to keep him on my good side,” she said, adding that she feared reprisals in prison.
“I will suggest that your explanation now be a convenient way to explain this evidence that is now in court and on this jury,” said McCabe-Lokos. “It’s the truth, miss.”
The process continues.
