Semeniuk, who worked as the child abuse Crown in Windsor for years, told the court he wasn't consulted by Chatham-Kent police before the manslaughter charges were laid a few days after the boy's death. Police did consult with another local Crown, he said.

He said the charge shouldn't have been laid before the cause of death was confirmed.
"It was clear that some of the recommendations in the Goudge Inquiry were not complied with," Semeniuk told the court.
