The country’s highest court refused on Feb. 29 to hear an appeal from a Newfoundland police officer convicted of sexually assaulting a woman in 2014, bringing an end to a winding court process that has gripped the province for seven years.
The decision from the Supreme Court of Canada closes the last avenue of appeal for 46-year-old Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officer Carl Douglas Snelgrove, clearing the way for him to go to prison.
