Closing arguments have been heard at the trial of a Saskatoon man accused of sexually assaulting his wife and threatening to kill her.
Court has been told the couple argued over her wanting to go back to Ireland, where they emigrated from in 2012.
Court has also been told that on several occasions, he filmed her participating in sex acts.
The Crown argues she was drunk to the point of passing out and may have been drugged, but the defence argues she was aware and consented to being filmed.
The woman testified that she would drink alcohol with friends and be perfectly fine, but when she drank the same amount of alcohol with her husband she would "black out."
During cross-examination on Friday, the accused said he had never seen his wife passed out in his life, though when he was interviewed by RCMP, the man said his wife couldn't handle her alcohol and could get drunk to the point of passing out.
"I must have misunderstood his question," the accused said in court.
The Crown asked the man why he saved all the sex videos to his hard drive. He said it was because he didn't trust his wife, and knew that if she ever accused him of anything he would have proof that she was a willing participant.
Justice Martel Popescul will hand down a decision on Oct. 28.
