A jury began hearing evidence Monday in the case against Const. Alexander Doduk, who pleaded not guilty to assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. He was charged over an incident just outside the courthouse, near 97th Street and 103A Avenue, on the morning of Nov. 26, 2019.

Former Edmonton police Const. Oli Olason told a jury that he kicked a man lying on the ground as a "distractionary technique" because he believed he needed to stop him from using bear spray. Olason took the stand in his own defence Thursday after three days of witnesses called by the Crown, including other police officers who were at the scene of an arrest four years ago that led to Olason being charged with assault.

WARNING: This story contains descriptions of violence. A man charged in a fatal Edmonton shooting had finished serving time behind bars for accessory to murder just a few weeks before being accused in a murder case. Jerad Wuttunee, 36, was charged earlier this month in the shooting death of 52-year-old Darrell Demchuk. Court records show Wuttunee was among a group of four adults previously charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of two people in January 2021.
