    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Data from a Dodge Ram pickup truck driven by Nathaniel Veltman on the day in 2021 that members of a London, Ont., Muslim family were struck shows him veering to the right five seconds before impact, his gas pedal 100 per cent compressed, court heard Monday.

    On the first day of testimony at the 22-year-old’s murder trial in Windsor, Crown prosecutors called three witnesses and laid out the evidence they’ll present to the judge and jury in Ontario Superior Court.

    He went home to his bachelor apartment in downtown London and “left before 8 p.m. with a specific purpose in mind: to find Muslims to kill,” Shaikh said.

    A photo of the family entered into evidence shows the two women and teenager wearing a salwar kameez — loose pants and a colourful long shirt.

    The trial is expected to last about eight weeks — shorter than originally anticipated because defence and Crown lawyers were able to agree to those facts that won’t have to be disputed.

    Before they heard from the Crown, jurors were reminded by Justice Renee Pomerance that their main job is to look at all the facts logically and with common sense.
