Crown has failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt at the trial of former clerk

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Mar, 2022 05:17 PM

The defence says the Crown has failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt at the trial of former clerk of the legislature Craig James.

Lawyer Gavin Cameron continued his closing arguments for a second day in B-C Supreme Court.

James was charged with fraud and breach of trust based on allegations of misspending.

But Cameron says two people stand by their decisions on James receiving a 258-thousand-dollar retirement benefit and two others followed policy in approving his travel expense claims.
