Crown Prosecutors in Cahoots with Mounties

January 16, 2010:
The Crown prosecutors in British Columbia are enablers. This means they make it possible for the mounties to get away with murder.......so when you think of bad mounties, think of their accomplices too.

Here is an example:
Cpl. Monty Robinson- the burzerk RCMP officer in charge of the group that murdered the man in the Vancouver Airport with 5 Tazer shots- later ran over an innocent young man of 21 and killed him. Of course, it hasn't escaped the attention of the public that this couldn't have happened if the officer had been jailed by the Crown for the earlier murder he committed at the airport, but that's just the beginning. The officer then left the scene, ran home and drank several drinks, and then returned on foot to the scene claiming he wasn’t drunk while driving. With the indispensable aid and collusion of the Crown, it worked for him. He won't be charged with drunk driving even though the Delta Police who pulled him over say he was drunk and recommended that charge.

A Jan. 15 court appearance was put off because after 3 months, the Crown says it still doesn't have all the reports necessary to even formally charge Robinson with anything!
The Crown appears to be delaying the case on purpose so that a judge will eventually dismiss it because the accused is entitled to a speedy trial.

What Next?
We should all be very concerned that such incidents aren’t giving rise to statements expressing outrage and disgust from police associations and courts. Robert Peel (founder of the London ‘Bobbies’) told his recruits ‘We are the people, and the people are us’. The mounties, in failing to shun the rotten apples among them, together with lax prosecutors and a weak-kneed attorney general are more and more creating an opposite feeling in the public mind- the police as a gang of armed thugs whose first loyalty- with full support from the courts- is to their fellow (gang) members.

Special Note:
Simon Fraser University criminologist David MacAlister raised questions Wednesday as to why Cpl. Benjamin "Monty" Robinson wasn't charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident causing death. The offence carries a maximum penalty of life in prison -- the same as impaired driving causing death.
"It sounded like this charge seems to most closely fit the facts of the case," MacAlister said.
