Charges dropped against 4 individuals in hate-motivated mischief investigation at Toronto Indigo bookstore

In an email to CTV News Toronto, police shared a statement from the Crown which said the charges were dropped in the absence of a “reasonable prospect of conviction” against four of the 11 accused.“This decision should not be seen as a criticism of the police determination that there were reasonable grounds for the arrests of these four individuals. However, the standard for proceeding with a prosecution is properly higher and more rigorous,” the statement read.
