The lawyer for an RCMP officer acquitted this week in Nunavut on charges of assault calls the court's decision "a just result," but says his client never should have been charged in the first place.

Nunavut Court Justice Susan Charlesworth gave her decision Monday in the case of Cpl. Ian Crowe, who was charged in connection to a 2020 incident in Sanirajak.

Cpl. Ian Crowe testified Wednesday in his own defence. The former Nunavut detachment commander is on trial for assaulting a man in Sanirajak.

The defence lawyer for an Alberta Mountie charged with manslaughter says her client was relying on the reactions of his colleagues before he fired four shots at a man that he thought was the suspect in a shooting the day before.
