A judge has stayed almost a dozen drug and proceeds of crime charges against a lifestyle and fitness coach after finding Toronto police officers “likely” stole $5,000 in cash from his Liberty Village apartment and lied about it under oath.
“I stress that this finding is made on a balance of probabilities, not using the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt,” Superior Court Justice Nancy Spies wrote in her ruling released last month. “This also means that at least one officer lied in giving evidence before me, which compounds the misconduct.”
