: Wise Law BlogBreaking: Charges Withdrawn Against Michael Bryant
TORONTO ? The Crown has withdrawn charges against former Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant in death of a cyclist.
Bryant was charged last August with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving in the death of bike courier Darcy Allan Sheppard.
Police alleged Sheppard, 33, died after grabbing onto a car in downtown Toronto following an altercation with the driver.
Sheppard death's led to an outcry from the city's cycling community and raised questions about Bryant receiving preferential treatment.
To avoid a conflict of interest, Vancouver lawyer Richard Peck was been brought in as prosecutor in the case.
Peck withdrew the charges today, saying there's no reasonable prospect for conviction.
CBC's report is here.
