Det.-Sgt. Shane Donovan, who was with the Niagara Regional Police Service , was acquitted this spring of perjury — the last charge linked to the six-year saga with Const. Nathan Parker that involved multiple police agencies, investigations and trials."If I believe Sgt. Donovan, I have to acquit him."
Niagara police, OPP and the SIU attend a scene near Roland Road and Sulphur Spring Drive in Pelham, Ont., after the shooting on Nov. 29, 2018. Donovan was initially charged with attempted murder and assault, as recommended by the Special Investigations Unit , the police watchdog that investigated the incident.
Donovan has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder related to the incident, which can negatively impact memory, said neuroscientist Neil Fournier, a professor at Trent University who testified as an expert witness for the defence.
