TORONTO POLICE OFFICERS CLEARED OF LYING UNDER OATH
"Three Toronto police officers accused of colluding to lie during the first-degree murder trial of a man charged with killing their colleague have been cleared of misconduct following a probe by the Ontario Provincial Police."
"Northrup, a 31-year veteran of the force, and his partner Forbes were in plainclothes and investigating a stabbing near Nathan Phillips Square when they began searching the underground parking lot on foot for a suspect. The pair crossed paths with Correa and Pais, who were in an unmarked minivan monitoring the search.
Forbes testified that she and Northrup approached Zameer’s vehicle in the parking lot as the driver “somewhat” matched the description of a male suspect they were looking for. She stated in body-worn camera recordings that she knocked on the car and said “police” as she held out her badge.
Zameer, who was in the car with his pregnant wife and young child, was not involved in the stabbing and testified that he didn’t know the pair were police officers. He also told the court that he thought his family was being attacked."
