Prosecution Fired? w/ Bath-Shéba van den Berg & Donald Best

Turmoil strikes the disciplinary hearing of Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus as Prosecutor Vanessa Stewart exits the case. Sources indicate her services are no longer needed, casting uncertainty over the proceedings set to resume on January 5, 2025.

Detective Grus faces a charge of discreditable conduct for allegedly conducting an unauthorized investigation into unexplained infant deaths, exploring potential links to the mothers' vaccination status.

The case has been controversial, including allegations of bias, procedural misconduct, and conflicts of interest. Concerns were raised over Prosecutor Stewart's relationship with a key prosecution witness, reportedly her sister-in-law.

Adding to the upheaval, Inspector Hugh O'Toole, another central figure in the case, has also left the Ottawa Police Service. His departure follows allegations regarding his conduct during the proceedings.

Insider sources suggest that internal divisions within the Ottawa Police are over handling Grus's case. With crucial personnel departing and the emerging evidence and defence potentially supporting Grus, questions arise about the future of the prosecution.
