Crown Prosecutor Found to Have Abused Process | Calgary News

A Calgary judge has slammed the Crown prosecutor in a high-profile kidnapping case for serious misconduct, ruling she abused process by withholding evidence, misleading the court, and even cross-examining a witness also facing charges in her own case. The case centered on the July 2023 abduction of Hamza Yassin, which led to the conviction of 24-year-old Mohit Sandhu. The judge’s findings raise deep concerns about prosecutorial integrity, highlighting failures like failing to disclose a key recording and obtaining new evidence just before testimony without informing the defense. These actions caused delays and undermined fairness. While the Crown insists it upholds independence and impartiality, this ruling could reshape how such cases are handled — with defense discussions set for early November.
