Prosecutor Dunn said the judge made errors by considering the officer’s good character and lack of a prior criminal record as mitigating factors that weighed in the offender’s favour. The Calgary police officer, Const. Alexander Dunn, who body slammed a female suspect, Dalia Kafi face first to the floor believed she had slipped from her handcuffs, he testified. Court exhibit“I want to be careful here to not suggest the assault was racially motivated,” the prosecutor said.
