Murder trial: Lawyer grills William Sandeson on his ‘two very different sides’
A text from Sandeson’s father from July 17, 2015 was read aloud in court, expressing that his mother was “mad over the credit line.”
In response, Sandeson said “she has no need to be” and “will be paid this September.” The Crown pointed out this deadline was about two weeks after Samson’s murder. Sandeson testified that he didn’t intend to pay off the line of credit, and instead wanted to have it “removed from my mother’s awareness” — transfer it to another bank where his mother, who was a co-signer, wouldn’t be able to monitor it.
The court heard that Sandeson had tried to remove his mother from the line of credit, but the request was denied by CIBC.Sandeson: No ma'am. It would've showed as paid to my mother.While the Crown said it would make financial sense for Sandeson to pay down the line of credit to reduce the interest he had to pay, Sandeson said the rate of interest was “so low” it made more sense to borrow money and invest it for a higher rate of return.
He also said he borrowed money from the line of credit to lend out to fellow drug dealers, who would pay the loans back with interest.“I was under next to no financial pressure,” Sandeson responded.Sandeson: I don't recall what it was needed for.Sandeson: I had a large balance on my line of credit, but I had assets that more than totaled the line of creditBall brought up a text from July 17, 2015, in which he texted his girlfriend at the time saying he needed $400.
