Toronto police officer promises to fully co-operate with investigation into Zameer case

A Toronto police officer who witnessed her partner get run over by a car says she will co-operate with an external investigation that was called after a judge criticized the testimony she and two others gave at the trial of Umar Zameer.Mr. Zameer was acquitted last weekend by a jury that rejected the Crown’s argument that he had deliberately hit Constable Jeffrey Northrup in an underground parking garage in 2021. In her instructions to jurors, Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy cautioned them to consider whether the three police witnesses colluded in a common narrative. After the verdict, Justice Molloy apologized to Mr. Zameer for his ordeal.
