Justice Clayton Conlan made clear that his decision to throw out first-degree murder charges because of the abuse the accused suffered while awaiting trial at the Maplehurst Correctional Complex was about much more than the violent retribution they and nearly 200 other inmates endured.
That treatment over two days in December 2023 was “akin to torture,” Conlan wrote. But the judge’s 113-page ruling suggests he likely would not have granted the stay if jail officials — from high-ranking administrators to rank-and-file guards — hadn’t also tried to cover up what happened, and then further lied about it in court.
Thirty Maplehurst witnesses testified over weeks of pre-trial hearings. Conlan found most of them gave untruthful, evasive or “blatantly incorrect or false testimony.”
The deceit ranged from serious attempts to conceal what happened, to absurd, easily disprovable lies that left the judge stunned.
The Star sought comment from every Maplehurst official named in this story, either directly or through the Ministry and their union. Only one responded, and he declined to comment.
