Jury deliberations are underway in the trial of Umar Zameer, accused of the first-degree murder of Toronto police officer Det-Const. Jeffrey Northrup. Ontario Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy has highlighted significant discrepancies in the Crown's evidence, noting inconsistencies between police testimony and physical evidence. Justice Molloy emphasized that no evidence conclusively supports the Crown’s theory that Northrup was standing when struck by the vehicle. She also raised concerns about potential collusion among police witnesses. Zameer, who pleaded not guilty, claimed he was unaware of Northrup’s presence, suggesting the fatal incident was not intentional but a tragic outcome amid perceived threats to his safety. The jury now faces choices between first-degree murder, second-degree murder, manslaughter, or acquittal.
