The public hearing into the alleged misconduct of seven Vancouver Police Department officers regarding Myles Gray’s 2015 death faces uncertainty after an obscenity was unintentionally caught on a microphone. Counsel Brad Hickford expressed regret and considered withdrawing, but adjudicator Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey emphasized the hearing’s importance and urged its continuation. Despite the incident, she noted that key elements of the investigation should take precedence over the comment. The hearing, significant in scope and delayed for over a decade, has been adjourned for further discussions among legal counsel.
