Brian Craig Irving’s trial continued Friday with videotape of him in RCMP cells, eating a hamburger and struggling to recall the two days that led up to the Aug. 28, 2008 tragedy.

Maiija-Lisa Corbett, 19, and Hyeshim Oh, 46, died that day after Irving’s blue Dodge truck smashed through the window of the Halu Sushi Restaurant in Westgate Centre. Six others were injured.

When questioned the day after by RCMP Cpl. Bruce Singer, Irving couldn’t remember when he got up that day, when he went to bed the previous day, if he’d had anything to eat, or if he‘d been drinking.

But it was drizzly outside, Irving says in a videotaped interview played in court.

“So it was wet out and you’re in your truck ... ” Singer says during the interview at Ridge Meadows RCMP.

Irving continued, “ ... driving around the parking lot, cruising for what, I don’t know. Went up that second row, booted it and tires started spinning and next thing I know, I’m flying through the window.”

Singer asked Irving how he felt.

“Not very good,” replied Irving, 52.

He said on the videotape that he couldn’t open the driver’s door. “I opened the passenger’s door and I saw somebody lying beneath my truck.”

The trial, in which Irving faces two charges of criminal negligence causing death and seven charges of criminal negligence causing bodily harm, completed its first week in New Westminster Supreme Court.

The court, presided over by Justice Bruce Josephson, heard Thursday that there were no alcohol or drugs in Irving’s system the day of the incident.

Irving, an alcoholic, had suffered a brain injury in January 2008, for which he required surgery.

He made progress from that for a few months, but then relapsed and became mentally slower after he resumed drinking in May or June of that year, said his daughter Taylor Irving, 20.

She would regularly visit him and saw him the day in January when he injured his head in a bathroom fall. He had also fallen a few times before.

Taylor also saw her dad the morning of Aug. 28 around 11 a.m. and said he seemed particularly unresponsive. She'd taken away the keys to his truck the day before because she didn’t want him to drive because he was so mentally slow and unresponsive. But she couldn’t find the spare key.

She said her dad had never been violent towards her or her mom, nor had he been suicidal. The couple has been separated for several years.

She went to work that day, then heard about the crash around 8 p.m. and called her dad, but couldn’t get an answer.

Asked by Crown prosecutor Bob Bonner if she thought her dad had something to do with it and she said she had a “weird feeling,” because the liquor store was nearby.

But that day she didn’t see or smell alcohol around her father.

After the surgery, Irving was eventually OK’d by a doctor to drive and was a good driver when he wasn’t drinking, she said.

She said later that he never went to the Halu Sushi restaurant.

On the videotaped interview, Irving told Singer that he visited the liqour store in Westgate Centre, a few blocks from his house, every day or two and that he usually drinks Smirnoff vodka, straight from the bottle.

“I don’t know why I would circle that stinking parking lot.”

“Just because you drink, doesn’t mean you’re a bad person,” Singer says.

“Please don’t say that to me anymore,” Irving replies.

Police tests soon after the incident showed no alcohol or drugs in Irving.

In the videotaped police interview, Singer asks Irving to explain what happened.

“Please, tell me one thing – you’re sorry,” Singer says.

“I’m sorry,” replies Irving.

Singer told Irving it sounded like he was circling the parking lot, targeting something. “Were you mad at something?” he asked again.

“I don’t know why I would do that,” Irving replies.

While he was answering questions, Irving ate a Big Mac after RCMP got him three hamburgers.

“It almost seems like you angry at something,” Singer said.

“What were you angry at?”

“I don’t think I was angry at anything. Son of a gun. I don’t know what I would be angry at. I didn't know anybody there.”

He said he didn’t know how he got to the parking lot.

“Can you fill that up please?” he says, asking Singer to get him a glass of water.

As the questioning ends, Singer asks Irving if there’s anything he wanted to talk about.

“No thank you.

"I just booted it, so the tires spin.

“I don’t know why I gunned it.

"There was no need to in a crowded parking lot and stuff like that."
