A stay of proceedings against two RCMP officers on trial this week in Yellowknife is a “complete vindication” of the officers’ actions, their lawyers say.
The trial began in territorial court on Monday. RCMP Const. Francessca Bechard and Cpl. Jason Archer were each charged with one count of assault for their use of force against prisoner Tracella Romie in 2020 at the Yellowknife detachment.
