Mountie cleared of perjury charges related to inquiry into Dziekanski taser death A Mountie accused of lying at the public inquiry into the death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski has been found not guilty. The Crown was only able to provide circumstantial evidence to suggest Constable Bill Bentley had wilfully concocted a false story, Justice Mark McEwan said in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday. The Crown had alleged Constable Bentley and three other Mounties colluded on their statements to homicide investigators following Mr. Dziekanski's death in efforts to justify their actions. They then attempted to cover up that collusion by lying at the public inquiry, the Crown asserted at Constable Bentley's perjury trial last month. Constables Bentley, Kwesi Millington and Gerry Rundell and former corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson were called to Vancouver International Airport early on the morning of Oct. 14, 2007, after Mr. Dziekanski began throwing furniture in the arrivals terminal. The 40-year-old, who did not speak English, had grown erratic after wandering the airport for 10 hours following his first-ever flight. Within seconds of arriving, an officer jolted Mr. Dziekanski with a taser several times. Mr. Dziekanski died on the airport floor minutes later. The Crown had pointed to the Mounties" similar notes and statements - which contradicted amateur video that later surfaced - as proof the officers had colluded. For example, officers claimed Mr. Dziekanski advanced on them with a stapler before he was stunned and wrestled to the ground, but the video showed no such occurrence. However, there was no evidence that the officers had concocted their stories. Meanwhile, Mr. Bentley's lawyer, Peter Wilson, argued any discrepancies in police accounts and the video were honest mistakes that arose from a fast-paced situation. The officers" statements did have some variations and several civilian witnesses also made mistakes in their accounts of the incident, he noted. The officers were charged with perjury in May, 2011, and will stand trial separately. Mr. Robinson's trial is scheduled to start in November, while constables Millington and Rundell are scheduled to stand trial in February, 2014.
