Defense Drops Sleep Expert in Assault Case

In a dramatic twist in a Calgary sexual assault trial, the defense lawyer pulled out their sleep expert, Dr. Colin Shapiro, after he admitted possibly mixing up patient details—shattering confidence in his testimony. Shapiro, the coiner of “sexsomnia,” had been brought in to argue sleep-related loss of control. With Shapiro out, the defense requested a trial delay, but the prosecutor countered with a ready alternative expert. The judge will decide tomorrow whether to grant the adjournment, making this a pivotal moment in the case’s credibility and direction.
