A recent domestic violence trial was “irrevocably tainted” when two Toronto cops were apparently messaging each other while one was testifying, a judge has found.
As a Toronto police officer testified by Zoom in a domestic violence trial, Ontario Court Justice André Chamberlain heard the ping of what seemed to be a social media messaging app. Then he saw the officer and the officer in charge of the case, also on the Zoom call, both suppress laughter at the same time.released Friday, Chamberlain said that after reviewing notes and a special transcript he is convinced Const. Jade McMurray and Const.
Chamberlain acquitted Attayee on charges of assaulting his wife and a bystander who intervened because he could not rely on the eyewitness identification of Attayee by three witnesses in court. Attayee’s wife did not participate in the trial. While the judge did not acquit Attayee over to the communication issue, Chamberlain noted that the incident caused tension between Attayee and his lawyer and that Attayee ended up having to represent himself. The court then appointed Rochman to assist in making sure Attayee had a fair trial.
