Supreme Court Justice: Antipsychotic Medication

Family Apartment Dept: Majencio Camaso, 33, was killed by Const. Kristopher Dukeshire on July 11, 2004, after his wife called 911 to report that he was off his antipsychotic medication and threatening to set fire to the family apartment, according to CTV. In a decision issued Thursday, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Grant Burnyeat found that Dukeshire was "grossly negligent" when he shot Camaso, and the Saanich Police Department was vicariously responsible for his actions and the family of a mentally ill B.C. man killed by Saanich police has been awarded more than $350,000 in compensation for the negligence of the officer who shot him. When police arrived on the scene, Camaso led Dukeshire on a foot chase around the neighbourhood to the playground of a local elementary school, and then threatened the officer with a crowbar and a pipe. Without calling for backup or firing a warning shot, the much larger police officer shot him three times, ending his life. As reported in the news.
