Second police officer admits h
A second police officer who interviewed Robert Pickton the day after Pickton was arrested for murder admits he lied several times during the interview.
RCMP Staff Sgt. Bill Fordy told jurors Wednesday he lied "on a number of occasions." Fordy said he lied about his mother dying of cancer, about his brother having a degree and when he told Pickton he wouldn't lie to him.
It was an effort to build a rapport, he testified.
"People are more likely to speak to you if they like you," he told Crown prosecutor Satinder Sidhu.

Another blow to police chief B
Sir Ian Blair came under fresh pressure over the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes on Thursday night following the intervention of one of his most senior officers.
Deputy assistant commissioner Brian Paddick alleged the Met Commissioner's private office knew within six hours of the killing that police marksmen had shot an innocent man.
Paddick has told the police watchdog that a key aide of Sir Ian was warned that afternoon that the dead man was not a terrorist.
But the commissioner has always maintained the first he knew of the appaling mistake was at 10.30 am the following day. Paddick's claims have exposed the divisions among high-ranking officers at New Scotland Yard.
In a further twist, it emerged on Thursday night that Paddick is being investigated over claims he has leaked 'confidential police' information to the media about the shooting in Stockwell, South London.
Sir Ian's conduct in the aftermath of the 27-year-old Brazilian's death is being probed by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
He is accused of making, or authorising the release of, misleading statements concerning the incident. Paddick – Britain's most senior openly gay policeman – has given his version of events to the IPCC team.
If what he says is true, it suggests either the Commissioner was not told the truth by his own staff, or he has lied. Scotland Yard denied Paddick's claims, even though investigations are continuing.
It is understood the force's urgent rebuttal has infuriated Paddick, who became the public face of the Met after the July 7 terror attacks.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: “We are aware of the suggestion, who made it, and which officer is alleged to have had the information-This is clearly a matter for the IPCC to clarify.
However, the officer in the Commissioner's Private Office has categorically denied this in his interview with, and statement to, the IPCC investigators.
"We are satisfied that whatever the reasons for this suggestion being made, it is simply not true." An IPCC spokesman said: "We will be making our decision on facts and not speculation."
De Menezes was shot seven times by police marksmen who mistook him for a suicide bomber on the morning of July 22 last year, the day after four men tried to blow themselves up on the tube and on a bus.
