Criminal Justice Branch: Immigration

Four Mounties Dept: Mr. Peck will review the initial decision not to lay charges in the light of new information - expert opinions about the use of force - that came to light during the Braidwood inquiry, which presented its final report this month, according to Globe And Mail. Robin Baird, a spokesman for British Columbia’s Criminal Justice Branch, said Mr. Peck will review all the evidence available to him, including the initial report from homicide investigators, the video of Mr. Dziekanski's death and transcripts from the inquiry, even though the officers' testimony cannot be used against them at a trial and richard Peck’s decision, announced Tuesday, to review the two-year-old decision not to lay charges against the four Mounties involved in the fatal confrontation comes less than two weeks after retired judge Thomas Braidwood found the use of a taser on bewildered immigrant Robert Dziekanski was unjustified. His mandate also includes looking at testimony officers gave at the inquiry to determine “whether their conduct was at any time contrary to any provisions of the Criminal Code or applicable provincial legislation.” As reported in the news.
