[Laura Enos, Bonds] said that claim -- based upon the ex-girlfriend's testimony and the allegations of childhood friend and former business partner Steve Hoskins -- was untrue. Enos said Hoskins gave [Kimberly Bell] the cash to curry favour with Bonds and to thank the slugger for helping him become rich by putting him in charge of a lucrative memorabilia business. Hoskins recently has surfaced as a key government witness in the investigation of Bonds. He was a boyhood friend who went into business with the baseball star, selling such memorabilia as signed jerseys, bats and baseball cards. The two had a falling out in 2003, which Enos said was over Bonds' accusations that Hoskins forged the slugger's signature on at least two endorsement contracts and also sold Bonds' gear without his pe...
Defence lawyers planned to attack the conduct of O'[Kane] and [Jess Zebrun] and the information they used to get the warrant signed by a magistrate. Even if the warrant was found to be valid at trial, the lawyers also planned to argue the two officers, "may have illegally entered a hotel room where the drugs were located prior to the warrant being obtained," according to a court document. He said he ([Scott Guiboche]) had a room, 1707 at the Fairmont, which was a reloading station. He said he has lots of cash and crack in there," O'Kane said. A reloading station is somewhere safe and accessible where drug dealers can keep their stash and cash so they're not carrying large amounts of either. In their information to obtain a warrant, O'Kane and Zebrun swore before a magistrate they had "...
Const. Peter O'Kane and his partner Const. Jess Zebrun, the stepson of Chief Jack Ewatski, are alleged to have lied under oath as to how they obtained the search warrant, which was used to enter a room at the Fairmont Hotel and seize approximately two pounds of cocaine and $30,000 cash. When they testified at the preliminary hearing, O'Kane and Zebrun claimed their suspicions about the hotel room weren't based on an illegal sneak-and-peek but rather on the information of a mysterious informant. In their information to obtain a search warrant, O'Kane and Zebrun swore before a magistrate they had "conducted police investigative techniques" to verify that the informant's information about the hotel suite was accurate.
The retired police officer thought he'd seen the worst possible case of cop rot when he helped drag an RCMP commissioner before Parliament to face coverup perjury accusations. [...] the parade of fibbing Vancouver airport officers who zapped a confused and unarmed immigrant five times, restraining him on the floor until he died while a civilian's video camera rolled from the far side of the glass, is now giving way to evidence of a higher-level communications whitewash where critical information was ignored, suppressed or manipulated.
[Ray Zanidean] testified he got nothing more than "room and board" in exchange for testifying he was present when [James Driskell] planned [Perry Dean Harder]'s murder. It has been since revealed that at the time he testified, Zanidean knew he had tacit immunity from arson charges in Saskatchewan, and was promised tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.
It's really something that's only prosecuted when it becomes clear that someone wilfully, intentionally and effectively misled the court -- lied to the court," [James Morton] said. "I think it's a constant problem. The police get corrupted because they think the cause they're working for is noble and righteous, and therefore it's OK to shade the truth because the defendant is a slime bucket. "We know, historically, there have been wrongful convictions, and that they have been caused, in part, by police corruption in pursuit of what they thought was righteous and it hasn't led to charges," [Frank Addario] said in a telephone interview from Toronto.
We are not in a position to reach a definitive judgment as to whether Mr. [Roger Clemens] lied to the committee," [Henry Waxman] and [Tom Davis] wrote. "Our only conclusion is that significant questions have been raised about Mr. Clemens's truthfulness. "Now we are done with the circus of public opinion, and we are moving to the courtroom," Clemens' lead lawyer, Rusty Hardin, told the AP in a telephone interview. "Thankfully, we are now about to enter an arena where there are rules and people can be held properly accountable for outrageous statements." "In spite of the fact that they want to pronounce that they have it under control, I still think that it's not fully under control," said the subcommittee's chairman, Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill. "And we have to do more."
The government of Manitoba needs to do a better job explaining why it did not lay charges of perjury against a man whose false testimony contributed to the wrongful conviction of James Driskell for murder in 1991. A judicial inquiry found evidence that Ray Zanidean may have intentionally misled the jury in Mr. Driskell's murder trial. Manitoba Justice investigated if Mr. Zanidean should be charged with perjury, but decided last summer the evidence " did not meet our standard for charges. There are a lot of things about the wrongful conviction of Mr. Driskell that have never been properly explained, and a lot of people who have never been properly brought to account for their actions or inactions that led to the miscarriage of justice. All of this despite Premier Gary Doer's pledge five...
