The former Richmond RCMP officer who fired a Taser gun at Robert Dziekanski at YVR in 2007 has been denied an acquittal on perjury charges.
Const. Kwesi Millington’s lawyer had applied for the dismissal of the charges against Millington in relation to an inquiry into Dziekanski’s death, according to media reports.
Millington is accused of lying when he recalled what happened during the incident at the airport in which Dziekanski was stunned several times with a Taser and later died.
Millington is also accused of lying when he explained why what he told investigators had happened was at odds with what appeared to have happen on a video recording taken by a bystander.
Last year, a judge acquitted Const. Bill Bentley, who was also involved in the incident, after concluding the Crown had failed to prove he lied at the inquiry or that the officers worked together on a story.
