Acquittal on attempted murder charge grounded in Supreme Court of Canada decision
A judge's decision to find a man who opened fire on the Vanderhoof RCMP detachment not guilty of attempted murder may have generated controversy, but appears to have applied the law correctly, according to an expert on the subject.
In Russell's case, the evidence presented at trial did not establish that he knew anyone was in the building and he intended to kill them. One of the bullets fired burst through a mirrored window at the building's west side, went through a computer monitor at the desk of the office manager, who had left for lunch, and then narrowly missed the commanding's officer's head before becoming lodged in a fax machine in the detachment's common area.
The verdict did not sit well with the National Police Federation, the union that represents RCMP members.
