The media is reporting that prosecutor Richard Peck has dropped criminal charges against Michael Bryant, who was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, after the incident that left Darcy Allan Sheppard dead.
Richard Peck felt there was no reasonable chance of convicting Bryant.
Quote from The Star:
If the prosecution determines there is no reasonable prospect of conviction then the charge must be withdrawn, Peck told the judge in front of a courtroom packed with reporters.
“This case falls short of that standard and I’ll explain why,” the lawyer said.
He added the decision was his “mine and mine alone” and no one from Attorney General’s office had any input into the decision-making process.
I'm wondering if there will be other non-criminal charges pursued after this.
Personally, I'm still trying to make sense of this...

How To Take Action
Thu, 05/27/2010 - 14:09I have personally phoned and left a message on Michael Bryant's voicemail. I have talked to the receptionist at lawyer Marie Henein's office. I have talked to Richard Peck's secretary in Vancouver. I calmly and without any abuse or profanity whatsoever expressed my opinion that this decision to vacate charged against Michael Bryant was wrong, and that soon a quarter of a million people will have seen the videos on YouTube. I have also sent the video to MAJOR ALTERNATIVE NEWS websites in the U.S.A., as an example of the Police State being imposed on North America.
All Mr. Bryant had to do was stop the car. But he kept on driving. Bryant is reportedly a top amateur boxer. But he was too scared to have a confrontation. He might have broken his nose, or bruised his knuckles. Boo-hoo. But now a man was dead.
Worse, we have a political wannabe and media darling who is so deranged that he deliberately used his car as a weapon and banged Sheppard into trees before the fatal smash into the mailbox or fire hydrant. Witnesses say "mailbox". They also say they heard "Bang, bang bang..." as Sheppard's body hit a series of objects while, they also said, "he was hanging on to the side of the convertible for dear life."
One billion dollars for G-20. It's not enough to save the New World Order. It will self-destruct, because its leaders are filth like Michael Bryant.
