      Which is why it’s so ridiculous that this poor guy was even prosecuted.

      “The Crown’s theory — that Mr. Zameer, who the evidence supports was out for a normal family evening with his pregnant wife and young son, who has no criminal record, who has a good work and education history, suddenly decided to intentionally kill or cause bodily harm … to a police officer, runs contrary to logic and common sense,” Copeland wrote in her 53-page decision.
