It was hard, he said, because they’d put so much work into the case. They went to a liquor store down the street before heading to a nearby cabin, where they were staying.
On the street, McKay heard someone say, “Looks like it’s going to be a good party.”
“I look back, and it was a car with four people,” he recalled. It was Kalmring’s family.
He recognized the woman who had spoken — a daughter or niece, he wasn’t sure — because she’d been vocal during the trial.
McKay approached the car and leaned in close. The woman looked confused, apprehensive.
“I stuck up my hand, and I said, ‘I’m really sorry for your loss.’ And she started crying. And I will never forget that,” McKay recalled.
“She takes my hand and she said, ‘I’m sorry.'”
What for, he asked.
“For the way I treated you during this,” she replied.
“And I said, ‘There’s no need to apologize. I get it … I have no idea what you’re going through.'”
It’s not entirely clear which of Kalmring’s relatives had this exchange with McKay. Cummings heard about it later and said it did a lot to soften some of her hard feelings toward the defence team.
“That was huge for me when I heard that … I’ve got to give them kudos,” she said.
