CBC...<br />Crown appealing Labrador RCMP acquittal<br />cbc.ca<br />CBC News Posted: Sep 13, 2011<br /><br />The Crown is appealing the acquittal of a Labrador RCMP officer who arrested a woman and locked her in a police cell in Nain after a drunken disagreement at his house while he was off duty.<br /><br />A judge ruled that RCMP Const. James Woodrow didn’t break the law but the Crown is arguing the judge erred in his decision.<br /><br />In May 2009, while Woodrow was off duty, he and a woman had a few drinks and went back to his home. After a friend interrupted them, Woodrow told the woman to leave.<br /><br />She stripped naked on the porch of his home.<br /><br />Eventually once she put her clothes back on, Woodrow arrested her and took her back to a cell in Nain.<br /><br />She accused him of sexual assault but later recanted, but said the officer had assaulted her.<br /><br />Woodrow was charged with assault and forcible confinement.<br /><br />In his court decision, Judge John Joy agreed with the defence’s assertion that Woodrow was lawful in making an arrest.<br /><br />However, Joy lambasted the police, saying the criminal operations division in St. John's ordered the arrest even though the investigating sergeant didn't feel there were grounds to lay the charges.<br /><br />The crown is arguing the judge erred in several other areas of the verdict.<br /><br />In court documents the Crown wrote:<br /><br />“The learned trial judge’s reasons for acquitting the respondent on the charge of unlawful confinement (if indeed he did acquit on this charge) are so deficient that they do not permit for meaningful appellate review.”<br /><br />Among other arguments the document says:<br /><br />“The learned trial judge erred in law by considering a charter application after the trail had ended, with no notice to the Crown and without the Crown having had the opportunity to respond to the application.”<br /><br />The case will now go before the Supreme Court.<br /><br />http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2011/09/13/nl-mountie-crown-913.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-52992475720980861812012-12-01T12:04:30.731-08:002012-12-01T12:04:30.731-08:00james woodrow is not keeping the peace and his con...james woodrow is not keeping the peace and his conduit as an officer is not professional. yes he resides in corner brook because i am his neighborAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-12174633171565519392011-09-02T16:56:25.611-07:002011-09-02T16:56:25.611-07:00[GO VIKAS!

If he is unfit for the force THEY will determine it. How would you feel if your neighbor accused you of stealing and because of your line of work, cultural background or personal beliefs - a biggeted town turned on you without proper proof? We all too often blame the authority because we "feel" they should have had another way of dealing with the situation. Can you tell me that you have never made a mistake or done something that you later found a better way it could have been handled? Let's all take a breather and give the guys out there, keeping us safe, a bit of a break until THE COURTS determine we should do otherwise.
