The accused, former legal counsel to the Thunder Bay Police Service, was charged with obstruction of justice and breach of trust by a public official.
The Crown alleged she made intentional false or misleading statements during an Ontario Civilian Police Commission investigation regarding her knowledge of a criminal investigation into the police services board chair.
The Superior Court of Justice found that while some of the accused's statements were inaccurate, the Crown failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she intentionally made false statements or material omissions.
The accused was acquitted on both counts.
