Ruling Expected In Perjury Case Against RCMP Linked To Robert Dziekanski's Death

The Canadian Press, 20 Feb, 2015 11:26 AM
    VANCOUVER — A ruling is expected today in the trial of a Mountie accused of lying about what happened on the night of Robert Dziekanski's death.
     
    Const. Kwesi Millington is charged with perjury along with three other officers for their testimony at a public inquiry around the Polish immigrant's death.
     
    A B.C. Supreme Court judge is slated to deliver his decision in Millington's case at 10 a.m.
     
    Dziekanski died after he was confronted by the four officers at Vancouver's airport in October 2007, and Millington stunned him repeatedly with a Taser.
     
    The Crown alleges the Mounties concocted a story to tell investigators, then lied at the public inquiry to cover up their initial deception.
     
    The Crown says all four officers' notes and statements contained similar errors, all of which painted Dziekanski as more aggressive and dangerous than he actually was.
