Just in from National Post:
All criminal charges have been withdrawn against former Ontario Attorney General Michael Bryant.
Special prosecutor Richard Peck made the surprise announcement in a Toronto courtroom Tuesday morning.
Mr. Bryant was charged after an altercation with a cyclist in downtown Toronto last summer; the cyclist, Darcy Allan Sheppard, died in hospital afterwards.
If the speculation went wild after a former backbench federal Conservative MP got off with a (relative) slap on the wrist, it’ll pale in comparison to the outrage this development is likely to provoke.
