Bennett denied the accusation.
The defense showed a video of Bennett’s police interrogation and focused on poking holes in his testimony.
Bennett maintains he was walking past Shingoose’s home when he saw the front door open and feared a break and enter. He said he awoke the girl’s mother and Cyr, her then boyfriend.
When nothing was missing from the home, he checked on Natalia and he says she appeared to be unharmed.
The trial resumes Thursday morning and is expected to last another week and a half.
