Global News: In a stunning reversal of position, the Crown stayed its charge of
breach of trust against the former second-in-command of the Canadian
military, Vice Adm. Mark Norman, admitting it did not have enough
evidence to meet the standard of conviction required for the allegation
in light of new evidence presented by the defence and third parties in a
March 28 meeting between the Crown and Norman’s counsel.
The dropped charge comes after prosecutors alleged he was the leak of
sensitive information in late 2015 about Liberal plans to freeze a deal
to buy the navy an interim supply ship after both of its remaining
vessels rusted out and caught fire, forcing their early retirement.
