The five players have all pleaded not guilty in the alleged 2018 incident. Alicia Assange has this update. The accused hockey players and their lawyers walk past a group of about 40 EM supporters. It's the largest group we've seen here all week. And inside the courtroom, Alex Formonton's lawyer, Daniel Brown, continued his cross

examination with a show and tell in front of the jury. He brought in a one ounce shot glass and a Jaggerbomb shot glass from Jax. He pours the Jaggerbomb shot into the one ounce glass and suggests that it's actually about half the amount of alcohol. Quote, you had eight Jaggerbomb shots but that was the equivalent of four shots of alcohol. You hadn't drunk as much as you thought, Brown says to EM.

So far, Brown's cross-examination has mostly focused on what took place at Jax before the alleged assault. His client, Alex Bormanton, wasn't at the bar. He wasn't 19 yet. Brown will likely wrap his cross-examination of EM on Monday. Then, the defense counsel for Cal Foote and Dylan Dubé will begin theirs. Ali Shiasan, CBC News, London, Ontario.
