OTTAWA—The hearing officer in the misconduct hearing of Helen Grus—an Ottawa Police Service (OPS) detective being charged with disorderly conduct for investigating the vaccination status of the mothers of deceased infants—declared that the hearing should not become focused on whether COVID-19 vaccines are related to child deaths.
“Spending this amount of time with every witness, it’s not helpful. It’s becoming almost a sidebar to this hearing,” Chris Renwick said in reaction to defence lawyer Bath-Sheba van den Berg’s cross-examination of a witness.
