Suspect is a video rental store in the Annex that specializes in independent and alternative cinema. Known for its selection of obscure b-movies, cult films and para-cinema, it is a popular destination for film buffs. The store is also an important venue for Toronto’s cinematic underground and a hub of film fandom. It was described by one Annex resident as “the archetypal b-movie palace.” The store has a strong connection with the city’s zine scene, with several employees contributing to film zines, including Luis Ceriz and Jeff Salter who founded the one-off zine “Suspect video”.
NBC News reported that Westman had left behind videos posted online of herself writing about suicide and having ‘extremely violent thoughts and ideas’. She had also written about her fascination with mass shooters and their weapons. Several police officers were seen at her home on Thursday morning as they searched it.
The police officer’s formulation in line 6 ‘you knew it was illegal to sell alcohol to someone under the age of 18’ functions as an upgrade for the suspect’s first response ‘yes’ (line 6) produced in overlap. This confirms a candidate understanding of the law in question and assumes a stronger epistemic stance. In lines 7 and 9, the suspect further consolidates his admission by repeating ‘I did it anyway yes’. These confirming responses operate as a strategy for the suspect to assert ownership of his talk in the interview by extending the sequence of his answers.
