FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. – The senior Mountie in the Robert Dziekanski Taser incident, Cpl. Monty Robinson, has been was found guilty of obstruction of justice in connection with an unrelated crash that killed a motorcyclist.
Robinson was behind the wheel when he struck and killed a motorcyclist in Delta, B.C., in October 2008 while on the way home from a Halloween party with his children where he had consumed five beers.
During his trial last month, Robinson told the judge that immediately after the crash he walked his kids home and then pounded back two shots of vodka to “calm his nerves” before returning to tell an investigating officer he was the driver.
But Judge Janice Dillon of B.C. Supreme Court ruled the officer’s testimony was not credible.
“A veteran off-duty police officer acting reasonably would not have behaved as Robinson did. This was not a simple error of judgment, mistake or inadvertence,” Dillon said in her judgment from the bench.
“Robinson’s act of drinking the vodka was, I conclude, wilfully designed to set up the defence that he had learned during his police training.”
The Crown argued that Robinson was a high-ranking officer with extensive training and knowledge of blood-alcohol testing who knew he could escape a charge of drinking and driving by drinking alcohol before taking a breathalyzer exam.
Outside court, the mother of 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson, who was killed in the crash, called for the officer’s immediate firing from the force and an internal investigation.
Judith Hutchinson said she is satisfied with the judge’s “strongly-worded” ruling.
“The thing that has disturbed me all the way along … is the calculating nature of this person, who definitely thought things through that always helped him to escape consequences of his lack of morals,” she told reporters.
Prosecution lawyer Kris Pechet said Robinson proved the heart of the Crown’s theory when he took the stand and showed his true intentions.
“By virtue of his specialized knowledge, which was proven, he must have known various information,” Pechet said.
“He had … no choice but to confirm that, because it was obvious from him having taken so much training and his experience as a police officer that he knew that information. It was pretty difficult for him to deny.”
Despite the conviction, Hutchinson said her grief and loss remain unchanged.
“This doesn’t bring my son back, but there is definitely a sense of satisfaction,” she said. “At this point forward we can go ahead knowing that he will be held accountable for his actions.”
The accident happened one year after Robinson and three other officers were involved in jolting a Polish immigrant at Vancouver’s airport with a Taser. Robert Dziekanski died on the floor at the arrivals terminal.
Robinson still faces a perjury charge in connection to his testimony about the incident at the public inquiry looking into Dziekanski’s death.
A date for sentencing on the obstruction conviction is set to be fixed on April 4.
