OPP officers trespassed at Ipperwash, judges told
Canadian Press
TORONTO -- An appeal to Ontario's highest court by a native man convicted
after a confrontation with provincial police may hinge on whether police
were trespassing when they entered a parking lot beside Ipperwash
Provincial Park. A three-judge panel of the Ontario Court of Appeal
Thursday questioned lawyers repeatedly as to whether the lot is part of the
park. They then reserved their decision on Warren George's appeal.
George's lawyer, Michael Code, argued that the 30 protesters legally held
the park during the September 1995 hostilities with police because of an
aboriginal and treaty right to land and because they were there peacefully.
Therefore, he said, George had every right to defend that property from
"trespassing" Ontario Provincial Police officers. Crown lawyer Michael
Bernstein said the incident occurred in the parking lot, so the protesters had
no legal right to stand their ground. "If hanging out in a parking lot for
a few hours equals occupation, then I occupy this courtroom," Bernstein
argued. George, 26, was convicted in February 1998 of criminal negligence
and assault with a weapon after
he drove into a group of police officers, leaving one with minor injuries.
He was sentenced to six months on each count but has been released on bail
pending the outcome of his appeal. During the same late-night
confrontation between police and members of the Stoney Point band,
protesting the desecration of burial land at the park, George's second
cousin, Anthony (Dudley) George, was shot and killed by Acting Sgt. Kenneth
Deane. Deane was convicted of criminal negligence causing death and
sentenced to community service.
