Prince George Mountie found guilty of obstruction of justice (www.cbc.ca)

A provincial court judge has found a Prince George RCMP officer guilty of obstructing justice for ordering a bystander to the aftermath of a violent police takedown to delete video of the incident from his phone.

Const. Arthur Dalman was one of two officers charged in the case β€” which stemmed from the arrest of a Wet'suwet'en and Gitxsan man who later died in custody.

In a verdict delivered over three hours Thursday, Judge Adrian Brooks found Dalman guilty but acquitted co-accused Staff Sgt. Bayani (Jon) Eusebio Cruz.

The verdicts are the latest chapter in a case that dates back seven years to a night when RCMP pursued and arrested Dale Culver β€” a 35-year-old who died about half an hour after he was taken into custody following a fight with multiple police officers.

But Brooks found numerous problems with Dalman's version of events, rejecting his evidence of the conversation between the two men and the idea that the witness would have voluntarily deleted the video.

That video probably would have led to charges that stuck on all those cops.
