After all, why else would they just make evidence up unless the idea that the rules apply to them is an affront to their self-image?
They wanted vengeance against a person who killed one of their buddies and they were too dumb to foresee that the defence would employ an accident reconstruction expert who would show that the physical evidence at the crime scene contradicted the statements that they had fabricated together.

No costs orders in criminal cases.

Can you opine on the principles and maybe real life examples of when police officers, Crown Attorney's as individuals, or being sued civilly through their respective agencies?

So much gets said about 'qualified immunity' etc. But a lot gets conflated with US law. Both criminal and civil in the US.

But for purposes of this discussion, what kind of a case might Zameer have against the lying witnesses, the police chief who slandered him initially, the Crowns who obviously were very personally invested in seeing this case through.. no matter the evidence?

As you know, especially under Ontario's Domestic Violence policy (not law!), the mere breathing of an allegation agains a wife, husband, even a date results in charges being laid and then "letting the courts sort it out".

"Qualified immunity" doesn't exist in Canada. It's a US bullshit rule.

Lying witnesses are suable for mailicious prosecution. Out of court statements are libel.

The Crown is way too complicated for me to do off the cuff. Every lawyer in the world is instructed to lead evidence he / she thinks is lying bullshit. But the witness is entitled to be heard by the judge. But then, Crown's have special duties of fairness. This is a grad school exam question on legal ethics.

Thanks for the brief, timely explanation.

But I think that this Crown knowingly put witnesses on that he knew would give false evidence contrary to physical and his own expert witness. I'd not be surprised if the family sues. Then again, maybe they just need to move on and heal. They have already proven themselves to be good Canadians and have had enough taken from them. They need to focus on their own children and families wellbeing.

If she was a private bar lawyer, I'd have no difficulty with what she did.

But the cops are not her "clients" and she is an agent of the state and has a higher calling. That's the difficult part.
