The coroner's inquest into the Vancouver police killing of Myles Gray resumes today at 9AM (held over from Friday because of time taken by police & their lawyers).
The final witness is VPD Superintendent Shelley Horne.
#JusticeForMylesGray
VPD reserved a large proportion of seats in the gallery for "VPD analysts" meaning that there were not enough seats for family supporters, other observers, and media.

Today's sessions of the inquest into the Vancouver police killing of Myles Gray heard revealing testimony from forensic pathologist Dr. Matthew Orde, who performed the autopsy.
It dispelled the police lies and distortions significantly.
It is noted that they have a support worker with them. Coroner mentions they neglected to identify this yesterday when Cst Sahota also had someone present who was not named.
