Police officers cleared of mis
A pair of Amherst police officers have been cleared of allegations of misconduct following an eight-month investigation.
The allegations were made by a 51-year-old Amherst man, Patrick Thomas Hawco, last year after his conviction on a number of fraud and theft related charges.

Corruption Charges Against Six
A judge at the Ontario Superior Court has thrown out charges against six Toronto police officers, after what he called an "unreasonable" delay in getting the case to trial.
The six officers were charged in a 2004 R.C.M.P. investigation looking into police corruption. Their charges included obstruction of justice, perjury, assault causing bodily harm, extortion and theft. The allegations related to falsified notes and police records, false testimony in courts, and even failing to account for evidence seized at crime scenes like drugs or money.
The judge in the case questioned why it has taken the Crown until 2008 to approach the start of trial, when the alleged misconduct took place for the most part in the late 90's.
The opposition parties are blaming the stayed charges on the Liberal government's incompetence. N.D.P. Justice Critic Peter Kormos says it is despicable, and government negligence is responsible.
