Corey Rogers is seen on the floor at a Halifax police station on the day he died, in this still image taken from surveillance video provided by Nova Scotia Courts.A hearing to examine the actions of three Halifax police officers who arrested a man who later died from suffocation in a detention cell has been delayed for two days.
The hearing had previously been delayed due to the trial of two booking officers, special constables Daniel Fraser and Cheryl Gardner, who were found guilty of criminal negligence last November in Rogers’s death.On Monday, board chairman Simon MacDonald granted Rogers until Wednesday morning to attempt to find legal counsel. He noted the case had been delayed before and that Rogers had been advised in the past that she should attempt to find a lawyer to advise her.
The police force was unable to comment by deadline on what the findings of its internal review were, and a spokesman said it would be inappropriate to comment on other aspects of the case as it is getting under way. The regulations include requirements that officers act in a manner that doesn’t bring discredit to the force and that they consider the health and safety of prisoners and refrain from the use of excessive force or cruelty.Rogers said at the criminal trial it was unclear when the police officers had responsibility for her son’s well-being and when responsibility shifted to the booking officers. “I want to get to the bottom of that,” Rogers said.
Is the floor ok?
