The charge against a Toronto driver charged in 18-year-old Milo Yekmalian's death was thrown out over a clerical error.
“Your honour? That’s what my son’s life is worth, a signature…the guy gets away with killing my son…for a signature. Really?”
“And at that point, it became anarchy. We jumped out of the car, my wife was screaming out his name. She knew it was him right away…it was chaos.” “I see by looking at the information that this is a very serious matter, and I can tell you I am not happy having been put in the position that I need to say that this is a nullity,” Ontario justice of the peace Neil Burgess said in court transcripts obtained by CTV News Toronto.
In the wake of the decision, and knowing the charge can not be re-laid more than six months after the incident, Alen said the weight of the clerical error shows the “incompetence level” at the Caledon OPP and the Crown’s office in Orangeville.
