The Joseph Thauberger murder trial resumed Wednesday with the accused on the stand for the second straight day.
Crown attorney Adam Breker, continued to cross-examine Joseph Thauberger, bringing up the transcript and video recording between Thauberger and an undercover police officer in 2020.
The almost 81-year-old maintained that the version he told the undercover officer was, “a fair bit of truth and a whole bunch of fabrications,” for $30,000.
Breker pressed Joseph on why he confessed to murdering his brother to a man he’d only known for a week or so and how he knew where Patrick’s body was buried if he didn’t take part in it.
Joseph said he was convinced that the undercover cop was someone he could trust, not being suspicious of him until their last interaction, a day before Joseph was arrested and charged with the murder of his brother.
He added that he told the unnamed gentleman where to bury Patrick’s body.
