Oppal Willing to Reconsider Dziekanski Prosecution

"We're Interested in Doing the Right Thing"
Then again, with an election looming large next month, what government official wouldn't be interested in doing "the right thing" in the face of public outrage over the death of Robert Dziekanski at the hands of four RCMP officers at Vancouver International Airport?
BC A-G and former Supreme Court Justice Wally Oppal says the Crown's decision not to prosecute the officers isn't all that final after all.
Nothing is final . . . particularly where we’re getting more and more evidence elicited on a daily basis,” Oppal told the CBC, referring to the inquiry evidence. “So it may well be, at the end of the day, the people in the criminal justice branch could re-examine this.”

"'at the end of the day, the people in the criminal justice branch could re-examine this.'”At the end of the day we ought not to hold our breath waiting with "coulds". A. Morris
