As reported Canadian media, the court held that a police officer is guilty of Kwesi Millington six of the ten charges against him. It is used several times Millington Dziekanski Taser against.
However, lied before the court
Millington process has taken place since March last year . Officer was charged with giving false evidence, although the first police officers on trial, Bill Bentley, who erected the same complaint, was acquitted in July of 2013. The prosecution, however, appeals from the judgment.
The allegation of perjury specifically concerned that the testimony before the judge Thomas Braidwood, who worked on behalf of the Government of British Columbia (province in Canada), explaining the Dziekanski case, Millington testified that never talked about the events at the airport with his friends before talking to the investigating officers.
As said Judge William Ehrcke, quoted in the media, the prosecutor has proven beyond doubt that Millington statements made under oath, which he knew that are false, and he did so with the intention of obstruction of the investigation. Currently waiting for a possible court prosecutor’s request for a conviction of a policeman in prison.
What about the other defendants?
During the trial, was present in the room Dziekanski’s mother, Zofia Cisowska. As reported on the media, said that “for the first time since the death of his son felt happy”. She added that she would like to Millington went to prison because the police “killed” her son – although announced the judgment relates only give false testimony.
The third of the indicted officers, Benjamin Robinson, awaiting sentence, and the process of the fourth Gerry Rundel, is almost complete.
The allegation of perjury officers erected as a result of an investigation by a special prosecutor Richard Peck, seconded by the Government of British Columbia to address the issue of Dziekanski’s death. Four years ago, after the completion of the work, Peck held that there is little likelihood of a conviction of police officers on the basis of other potential charges.
Unreasonable behavior of the police
Earlier, in June 2010. it is recommended to the government of the province Peck to reconsider an earlier decision to discontinue the investigation against the policemen. Peck was seconded to work on the case Dziekanski’s death after the publication of the committee’s report Judge Thomas Braidwood, whose committee has worked on behalf of the Government of British Columbia.
In 2010,., After investigation, found the use of Braidwood Dziekanski Taser against unjustified and the actions of police officers from the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police – Royal Canadian Mounted Police) to be too hasty. He also stressed that if the police did not have stun guns, the use of other agents known to them from training. In his opinion, the use of taser caused an increase in blood pressure and a faster heart beat, and five times the use of weapons played a huge role in the death of a tired and nervous Pole.
In December of 2009. Committee for the investigation of the complaint to the police, then working under the direction of Paul Kennedy, presented a report on the operation of four police officers, which states that the use of taser against Dziekanski was “premature and inadequate.”
14 October 2007 Dziekański died after when at the airport in Vancouver RCMP officers used a stun guns to subdue him. As is apparent from the recording made by one of the travelers at the airport, Dziekański behaved quite rapidly after a long flight and ten-waiting, when no one came to the right later in the airport, but in no way threatened by the police.
