A Good Samaritan who called 911 to report a vicious beating of an innocent man is stunned two convicted killers are trying to blame her for their victim's death.
The 24-year-old woman -- who asked the Free Press not to publish her name -- spoke out for the first time Friday.
"I'm trying not to let it bother me but it's hard," she said. "It's definitely not a very nice thing for them to say."
The two killers -- Dallas Pruden-Wilson and Terrence Sinclair -- brought their sentencing hearing to an abrupt halt last week by claiming they'd been wrongfully convicted of manslaughter.
They have filed a motion saying Queen's Bench Justice Karen Simonsen didn't properly consider the actions -- or inaction -- of the woman who drove by the scene and called for help during the March 2005 incident.
Adam Lecours, 34, was seriously beaten and robbed by Pruden-Wilson and Sinclair and then left lying unconscious on a darkened street in The Maples, only to be run over moments later by an unsuspecting motorist.
The Good Samaritan testified during their trial last January that she saw the attack but was too scared to get out of her car and help Lecours after the culprits fled.

Dallas Pruden-Wilson and Terrence Sinclair
Come on down to PA or TX
We do 911 after 357...
Apparently, it’s one thing to murder — and worse to be rude about it afterward.
Lawyer scum infestation.
It's her fault for not stopping us from killing him!
If she had been able to have a gun with her, she wouldn’t have had to fear stopping her car, getting out and putting a cap in both their a**es.
They’ll get off for sure.
Emilia xxxxxxxx testified during their trial last January she saw the attack but was too scared to get out of her car and help Lecours after the culprits fled and he lay on the road.
She called on her cellphone for help, but Lecours was struck and killed before police or paramedics could arrive.
Defence lawyers Randy Minuk and Roberta Campbell argued Friday their clients should not have been convicted of Lecours’ death when it’s clear Rzedzian had the opportunity to rescue him and “control the scene.”
IDIOTS!
So do lawyers.
Doesn't this mean that THEY ALSO had the "opportunity to rescue him and 'control the scene.'?"
Um, causal relationship? The guy wouldn’t have been run over in the street if the thugs hadn’t beaten him in the first place. “It’s not our fault if no one stopped us from killing him” is not a very effective argument. More incriminating if anything.
“Court heard the teen, Pruden-Wilson and Sinclair had been drinking at a nearby house party when they decided to go outside and rob someone.”
Similarly, the argument blaming the death on her inactivity will also be rejected.
Exactly! Bystanders are not obligated to be victimized any further harm by thugs! Their atty’s tactic should have been SQUASHED... and the thugs should have been silenced.
It means things could be worse. If she has tried to move him she might have been run over too.
would not have been a problem if she had a handgun in the car and the training to use it. She should sue Canada.
Eh, it’s Canada. Sort of a California light. They may get away with it.
