"I wasn't hiding anything"

City Police officer Toni Grann took the stand in her Breach of Trust trial.  Grann is charged with falsifying records in the Ontario Sex Offender Registry.   On the stand this morning Grann painted a picture of a system that she felt wasn't organized on various levels.  She sited an example of how she got so busy that she had to make deals with some uniformed officers to get verifying addresses of some local sex offenders.   She told the court  "I wasn't hiding anything."   Under cross examination she says she did not have all convicted sex offenders come to the police station to register even though it was required by law.
