He has pleaded not guilty to killing Cindy Gladue, a 36-year-old Metis and Cree mother, at the Yellowhead Inn in June 2011.
Medical experts previously testified that Gladue suffered from a severe and painful wound to her vagina and bled to death.
During cross-examination, Crown prosecutor Julie Snowdon suggested that Barton pretended to be in shock the morning he found Gladue, and that his lies to police about how he knew her were to cover up his crime.
Barton has testified he lied because he didn’t want his family to know he had paid Gladue for sex.
