Brett Howden faced questions Thursday in a voir dire — essentially a trial within a trial — over a text conversation he had with another then-teammate, Taylor Raddysh , on June 26, 2018 .

In the exchange, Howden describes some parts of the June 19, 2018 encounter at the heart of the trial, including a moment when he says one of the accused, Dillon Dube , slapped the complainant on the buttocks.

The Crown sought to introduce the messages related to the slap as a “past recollection recorded” due to Howden ’s lack of memory.
