The lawyers for Constable Helen Grus, an Ottawa Police Service (OPS) detective accused of discreditable conduct after investigating the vaccination status of the mothers of deceased infants, accused the head of the service’s Professional Standards Unit of intimidating Const. Grus by emailing her directions not to use OPS internal documents for her defence.
“That’s witness tampering, that is intimidation, that is obstruction. This tribunal should be outraged. I am trying to pull back from exceeding anger from this,” lawyer Blair Ector said during a police disciplinary hearing in Stittsville, Ont., on Jan. 10.
