Lawyers for the family of Jamal Francique are calling for a reopening of the Special Investigation Unit’s (SIU) probe into his police shooting death and the laying of charges against Peel Regional Police.
A 46-page “legal inquiry” released Tuesday by Ma’at Legal Services into the circumstances surrounding the killing of the 28-year-old argues that there are so many “errors, omissions, contradictions and inconsistencies” in the SIU’s probe that the laying of charges against six drug squad officers involved in the incident is the only way to determine the true facts.
