OTTAWA—Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is a free man after federal Crown prosecutors announced on Wednesday, May 8, that they were withdrawing their breach-of-trust case against the military’s former second-in-command.

The criminal case over alleged leaks of government secrets was expected to play out during the fall federal-election campaign.
