The British Columbia coroner presiding over the inquest into the death of Myles Gray says the jury won’t be allowed to see a photo of the man’s injuries because the application was made too late.
Gray, who was 33 years old, died in August 2015 after a beating by police that left him with injuries including ruptured testicles and fractures in his eye socket, nose, voice box and rib. Marzinzik says there is no longer an opportunity for witnesses to provide context of the photo to the jury, and evidence of the injuries Gray sustained have been well-documented through other materials.
Before outlining his decision not to allow the photo, Marzinzik told the inquest he was “torn between complete transparency and proper procedure.”
