VANCOUVER — British Columbia's highest court has upheld the conviction of an RCMP constable found guilty of perjury following the death of Robert Dziekanski.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal says the trial judge made no error in assessing the evidence against Kwesi Millington.
Millington was sentenced to 30-months in prison for testimony he gave to the Braidwood inquiry examining the October 2007 death of Dziekanski, who was jolted multiple times with a Taser at Vancouver's airport.
Millington and former corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson were found guilty of colluding to make up testimony about the police actions.
Dziekanski was felled by the Taser moments after Millington, Robinson and two other offers arrived at the airport in response to reports of a distraught man.
Robinson was sentenced last July to two years less a day, one year of probation and 240 hours of community for perjury.
