加拿大检察官谴责Edmonton Police在一宗儿童杀人案上推行认罪协议, Canadian prosecutors condemn Edmonton Police for pressuring a plea deal in a child homicide case, calling it a breach of prosecutorial independence.

一个代表8 000名加拿大检察官的全国性团体谴责Edmonton警察局公开质疑王室在一宗儿童杀人案中的认罪协议,称这一举动违反了检察官的独立性。 A national group representing 8,000 Canadian prosecutors has condemned the Edmonton Police Service for publicly challenging a Crown plea deal in a child homicide case, calling the move a breach of prosecutorial independence. 警察敦促省级官员阻止杀人罪辩护,并威胁说,如果王室采取行动,就会释放敏感的受害人细节,这是法律专家为敲诈勒索贴上标签的伎俩。 The police urged provincial officials to block a manslaughter plea and threatened to release sensitive victim details if the Crown proceeded, a tactic labeled extortion by legal experts. 对指控和认罪决定拥有唯一权力的王室接受了 2023 年在 Samson Cree Nation 的曲棍球袋中发现一名 8 岁女孩的过失杀人认罪，定于 2026 年 2 月宣判。 The Crown, which has sole authority over charging and plea decisions, accepted a plea to manslaughter in the case of an eight-year-old girl found in a hockey bag on Samson Cree Nation in 2023, with sentencing set for February 2026. 反腐败委员会强调,检察官依赖不与警方分享的保密信息,必须公正行事,不受执法压力。 The CACC emphasized that prosecutors rely on confidential information not shared with police and must act impartially, free from law enforcement pressure.
