Whether delay was enough to put administration of justice into disrepute still to be determined
A potentially key piece of evidence has been put in doubt after a judge found Prince George RCMP failed to provide a man accused of setting a deadly fire timely access to a lawyer.
Fleming issued a similar decision last month regarding the initial detention and arrest of Aster on July 11, 2020, three days after a fire ripped through the east end of the Econo Lodge Motel on Ninth Avenue at Victoria Street. Three people were killed in the blaze. Aster was not charged following his July 2020 arrest and was let go the next day. But he remained a suspect and, on September 16, 2020, he was picked up once again and this time charged with three counts of criminal negligence causing death and one count each of arson in relation to an inhabited property and arson damaging property.
RCMP had tracked Aster down to the Moccasin Flats encampment in the light industrial area east of the city's downtown. Police placed him in an unmarked RCMP vehicle and initially opted to wait for a marked vehicle with tighter and more secure confines in the back, to take him to the detachment but, after a few minutes, decided to transport him in the unmarked vehicle.
