Const. Kwesi Millington Tells Perjury Trial He Did No Wrong When He Used Taser On Robert Dziekanski

The Canadian Press, 13 Jan, 2015 04:52 PM
    VANCOUVER — An RCMP officer involved in Robert Dziekanski's death denies he concluded with his fellow officers to come up with a story to tell homicide investigators.
     
    Const. Kwesi Millington is on trial for perjury in connection with his testimony at a public inquiry in 2009 that examined Dziekanski's death.
     
    Dziekanski died at Vancouver's airport after he was confronted by four officers, and Millington stunned him repeatedly with a Taser.
     
    Millington says he never discussed what happened with the other three officers before writing in his notes and providing statements to investigators hours later.
     
    The Crown says all of the officers' notes and statements contain similar errors that exaggerate the threat Dziekanski posed, and prosecutors allege the only explanation is that they worked together to fabricate a story.
     
    Millington acknowledges his statements and notes contain numerous errors, though he insists they represent an honest account of what he remembered at the time.
