Crown prosecutors have dropped all criminal charges against former Ontario attorney general Michael Bryant stemming from the death of a bicycle courier in downtown Toronto.
Richard Peck, a prosecutor brought in from British Columbia in the case against Bryant, told a Toronto court Tuesday morning there was no reasonable prospect of conviction.
Bryant was charged with criminal negligence causing death and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death after an alleged confrontation with Darcy Allan Sheppard on the evening of Aug. 31.
Police allege that Sheppard died after grabbing onto a car on Bloor Street West following an altercation with the driver.
