Sault Ste. Marie family's civil case against OPP dismissed by judge
.
A civil case launched by Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., family members who alleged they were wrongfully arrested and assaulted by Ontario Provincial Police 10 years ago has been dismissed.
Daniel Knox, his son Harrison Knox and daughter Sherry Cole named the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, and OPP officers Const. Luigi Bruni, Const. Mario Posteraro, Const. Peter Van Den Diepstraten, Const. Keith Nicolle and Sgt. Ken Spahr in the lawsuit.
In his written decision, Ontario Superior Court Justice Edward Gareau said "neither the evidence of Daniel Knox nor the evidence of Const. Keith Nicolle is perfect." "There are problems with the evidence of both of them."
Gareau dismissed all of the plaintiffs' claims in their entirety.
