The ex-police Stéfanie Trudeau, also known under the name of “number 728” may appeal his conviction for assault, had just decided in the highest court of the province.

“Even though the call to [Ms. Trudeau’s] present difficulties, I believe sufficient questions that it raises,” writes the judge Marie-Josée Hogue in his brief decision of four pages.

Thus, the police retirees can hope to have his conviction overturned to be violently taken from citizens during an operation that had escalated in October 2012.

That night, she had wanted to verbalize a man drinking a beer on the public road, on the Plateau-Mont-Royal in Montreal. It was a neck to one of them and after the intervention, audio tape allowed to hear “number 728” treat the citizens of the “guitarist guitar”, among others.

The judge of the Quebec Court had convicted Ms. Trudeau at a probation and 60 hours of community work. Dissatisfied with both the verdict only the sentence, the police fallen had brought the appeal.

“It was the gesture control, for the purpose of handcuffing “, had pleaded with his lawyer.

This attempt had been in vain since the Quebec superior Court upheld both the verdict that the conviction. Dissatisfied with this second failure, she has taken this decision before the Court of appeal of Québec, which has agreed to hear.

No hearing date has not yet been set.
