Overview
- An OPP report found no reasonable grounds that Detectives Lisa Forbes, Scharnil Pais or Antonio Correa lied or colluded in testimony, citing no evidence of obstruction or perjury.
- The reinvestigation concluded Det. Const. Jeffrey Northrup was in front of the BMW when it accelerated and hit him, a finding consistent with the officers’ statements.
- OPP investigators engaged an independent reconstruction expert, analyzed security video indicating a headlamp was obscured, examined the vehicle and reviewed timelines that showed limited opportunity to confer.
- Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw and the police union welcomed the findings, and Premier Doug Ford called for the trial judge to apologize to the officers.
- Umar Zameer’s lawyer, Nader Hasan, expressed serious misgivings about the process, noting he and his client were not consulted and questioning the independence of a police‑led review.
