Two Edmonton Police Service officers may find out Thursday afternoon if they will stand trial on charges of accepting bribes.
A preliminary hearing is wrapping up, with final arguments Thursday morning from the crown and the two defence lawyers. The allegation is that Tom Bell and Kerry Nisbet accepted bribes from an American company that wanted to land a photo-radar contract with the city. The RCMP investigated, and charges were laid.
And the matter of three city police-officers charged with assault came up in the courthouse this morning. Detective Terry Briscoe, Staff-Sergeant Giovanni Fiorilli and Staff-Sergeant Jamie Ewatski are scheduled to return to court on June 28th.
