On Friday, an emotional Merrick collapsed shortly after speaking to media about what she called “a gross miscarriage of justice” following the acquittal of a Manitoba corrections officer charged in the 2021 death of William Ahmo, a First Nations man who was an inmate at the Headingley Correctional Centre.
A case in which Manitoba Provincial Court judge Tony Cellitti ruled:
“A proper and more fulsome assessment of Mr. Ahmo by medical personnel might very well have disclosed concerns, but in my view a closer assessment was not possible given that Mr. Ahmo continued to struggle and resist.”
i.e. this man caused his own death by struggling for his life while being choked to death.
No wonder she was upset.
