VANCOUVER - The Crown has decided not to lay charges in the death of 
Frank Paul, the aboriginal man dumped in an alley by Vancouver Police 
officers in December 1998.

The 47-year-old Mi'kmaq man from New Brunswick died of exposure.

He had been held that night in the police drunk tank, but was later 
dragged outside into the alley, still highly intoxicated.

Solicitor General Rich Coleman had forwarded the case to Crown lawyers 
for a review. And they have now decided charges are not warranted.

This was the fifth time the Crown has looked at the case.

Crown spokesperson Geoff Gaul says a review of new evidence - two new 
witness statements - determined no criminal charges should be laid.

"Is there sufficient evidence that we could prove on a criminal 
standard, beyond a reasonable doubt, that somebody was culpable for Mr. 
Paul's death.

"And the conclusion of all five assessments is that no, we can't prove 
it." says Gaul.

The solicitor general has already rejected a call by the Police 
Complaints Commissioner for a public inquiry.

    It's not that Nancy Dawson hates the police or wishes them any ill
    will, she just doesn't like to look at them. Witness this morning's
    turn of events, as she headed out to attend the local gathering
    marking International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

    Gerald Kaboni

    <mailto:montfu65 at hotmail.com>

        In the past few years, Victoria police have killed several
        Native and poor people, including Anthany Dawson and Gerald
        Kaboni. Since the BC Liberals and Gordon Campbell came to power
        Victoria police have struggled against the excluded class (poor
        and working people), giving the rich and middle-class the space
        to create a new path for the capitalist movement in Victoria.

    Was Gerald Kaboni murdered by Victoria police

        Was Gerald Kaboni murered by police?

    I have evidence turned down by the coroner's office that he was.
    Police give me run around on releasing critical evidence report.
    Chief of police hides out behind police immunity. ? At what point
    will people say," This is enough". I am tired of being harassed by
    police who are no better then the worst criminals they say they are
    protecting us from. No more. I know for sure police and media are
    silently reading this channel. Let them come out and state what
    hidden instruction they are receiving and who they protecting.
    Police Chief denies public interview with Mayoral candidates. Who
