TORONTO — A man accused of killing a Toronto police officer nearly three years ago pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder Monday as jury selection began in his trial.Northrup, 55, died on July 2, 2021, after being struck by a vehicle as he was responding to a report of a robbery in a parking lot at Toronto City Hall. Another plainclothes officer was also injured.
Zameer's defence lawyer made a brief statement outside the courthouse Monday afternoon, urging the public to let go of any preconceived notions they may have about the case. "When I addressed the public nearly three years ago about this case, I simply asked ... to keep an open mind about this case because there's so much more to it than the inaccurate and sensational snippets that emerged in the media. I promised that in due time the truth will emerge," Nader Hasan said.Zameer was granted bail in the fall of 2021, but the reasons for the decision and evidence presented in court are covered by a standard publication ban.
