Lawyer for man who was wrongly convicted in Thunder Bay on gun and drug charges cites race as defining feature of case
when it comes to how they police racialized groups in the city, particularly Indigenous people.
A key piece of evidence for Ontario Court Justice Chantal Brochu was that police officers watching the house did not see Mr. Peters come or go. “Since it is unknown whether the appellant entered the apartment after 3:50 p.m., it is reasonable to infer that he may have entered the apartment sometime shortly before police arrived [at 6 p.m.]” she said in a written filing.
Mr. Peters spent three months in jail and after being released on bail was charged in a robbery, his lawyers said in a written filing.
