The carnage didn't stop with the police investigation, however. Mr. [Salhany] concluded there was no reason why the independent counsel, Marty Minuk, brought in by the prosecutions branch to handle the case, should have agreed to a plea bargain that spared [Harvey-Zenk] jail time. With the charge of impaired driving crushed by Mr. [Harry Bakema]'s misconduct, the case of dangerous driving causing death was, in fact, strong, and evidence of his drinking was available, despite Mr. Minuk's protests otherwise to Chief Provincial Court Judge Ray Wyant. Indeed, there was jurisprudence to support jail time, but Mr. Minuk gave too much to Harvey-Zenk's lawyer in agreeing to jointly ask the judge to have Harvey-Zenk serve his time conditionally, in the community. In that, Mr. Salhany reaches this damning conclusion of Mr. Minuk: "In my view, the agreement reached by Minuk with (Richard) Wolson brought the administration of criminal justice into disrepute."
