Description
Guest: Wendy Gillis, Toronto Star’s crime reporter In Ontario, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) investigates cases of assault, serious injury and death, when a police officer is involved in the incident. A new research report looking into 15 years worth of SIU charges and their outcomes found a majority of cases ended in a withdrawal of charges or acquittal. We look deeper into the numbers to understand how cases play out in the courts and whether rules are different for police officers in the criminal justice system.
