Meghan Dunphy tells inquiry she believes police officer manipulated evidence after killing her father

Don Dunphy's daughter told a judicial inquiry Monday that she doesn't believe the police officer who fatally shot her father is telling the truth about what happened on Easter Sunday, 2015.

Meghan Dunphy is suggesting her father reached for a stick that he often carried for protection, and that Const. Joe Smyth, of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), mistook it for a gun and then shot him.

"That's what I don't understand. There's no reason for my father to take a gun. He would have picked up his stick not a gun," said Meghan.

Judge Leo Barry asked Meghan if she believes Smyth manipulated evidence after the shooting. She responded "Yes," and suggested Smyth may have placed the gun beside her father to cover up that he shot a man for reaching for a stick.

Following a break, Meagan's lawyer Erin Breen asked her, "Would your father cooperate with a police officer if he was asked to produce firearms?" Meghan answered, "Yes."

How did Don Dunphy die? N.L. judicial inquiry to examine fatal police shooting

59-year-old Mitchells Brook man was shot by RNC Const. Joe Smyth on Easter Sunday 2015

More than a year and a half after Don Dunphy's tragic shooting death, his daughter is preparing to speak publicly about it for the first time.

Meghan Dunphy will be the first witness to take the stand Monday at the inquiry into what happened at Dunphy's Mitchells Brook home on April 5, 2015.

Don Dunphy, 59, was fatally shot by RNC Const. Joe Smyth, who at the time was assigned to a special unit handling the security of then–premier Paul Davis.

Smyth went to Dunphy's home — about 100 kilometres southwest of St. John's — on an Easter Sunday to investigate after a member of the premier's staff flagged Dunphy's social media posts on Twitter as potentially threatening.

Smyth subsequently told the RCMP that they spoke for about 15 minutes until Dunphy became angry. Smyth told police investigators he fired his service pistol at Dunphy four times after Dunphy pointed a 22–calibre rifle at him.

Meghan Dunphy grew up in the Mitchells Brook home where her father died. She was with him just hours before the fatal confrontation with Smyth.

This morning Cletus Flaherty (representing The Don Dunphy Community Coalition) will likely finish his cross examination of RNC Constable Smyth, the man who shot and killed Don Dunphy that day. Livestream: http://www.ciddd.ca/ http://video.isilive.ca/nfld/remote.html

Today Mr. Cletus Flaherty, representing The Don Dunphy Community Coalition cross examined Constable Smyth about the “threat assessment” process that Constable Smyth has repeatedly referenced throughout the inquiry.   It seems Constable Smyth’s explanation of “threat assessment” and “risk assessment”: didn’t quite match up with the training manual. The Commission of Inquiry Respecting the Death of Donald Dunphy resumes with Mr. Flaherty’s cross examination of Constable Smyth tomorrow morning, Wednesday January 25th, 2017 at 9:00am NL time or 7:30am (EST)
