Defense blasts police chief during testimony at Poulin trial
TROY -- Defense attorney Stephen Coffey spent most his time
Monday discrediting reporting performed by the North Greenbush
Police Department in the trial of a man accused of murdering his
girlfriend.  The jury had just finished up watching nearly eight
hours of video footage during which Rory Poulin, who is
suspected of fatally shooting his girlfriend with a shotgun, was
interrogated by police. One of the two people involved in the
interrogation was Police Chief Robert Durivage - then a captain
in the department - whose recollection of the events surrounding
the death of Margaret "Meg" Jordan was heavily scrutinized by
Coffey.  Coffey asked Durivage repeatedly why he had not
included some statements made by Poulin, 57, in the voluntary
statement. Durivage had admitted Poulin was offered the
opportunity to read the statement and signed it.  "He did
indicate after reading the statement in its entirety it was a
good statement," Durivage said.  Constan
