“I don’t think I did anything wrong, I think I went above and beyond, is what I think,” Paxton said, in a police interrogation video back in August 2010.
Paxton was convicted in the case last February, and the Crown is now trying to prove he is a threat to others and that his behavior will not change. If he is declared a dangerous offender, he could face an indeterminate sentence.
The hearing could take up to four weeks.
