Northrup, a 31-year veteran of the force, died on July 2, 2021, after being struck by a vehicle as he was responding to a report of a robbery in a parking lot at Toronto City Hall.
Another plainclothes officer was also injured.
Speaking outside court on Monday, Zameer’s lawyer urged the public to keep an open mind about the case.
The trial is expected to last about five weeks.
