Police Gun: Safety Mechanism

Key Evidence Dept: The coroner's report into the death of Fredy Villanueva may still be months if not years away, tied up in court as a judge determines whether key evidence about the safety mechanism in police gun holsters can be made public, according to Montreal Gazette. The last to speak after lawyers for victims, the police, and the city took turns making recommendations, Villanueva was not bound by court decorum or legalese as she painted a glowing portrait of her 18-year-old son and denounced the officer who fatally wounded him while trying to arrest his brother Dany. "If Fredy or Dany were white or were Quebecers, this tragedy would never have occurred. My son is dead because of racial profiling." But the impassioned indictment by a grieving mother held the coroner's attention yesterday as Lilian Madrid Villanueva brought the 18-month inquest to a dramatic close. As reported in the news.
