Toronto officer appeals conviction over G20 conduct
TORONTO — The high-ranking Toronto police officer reprimanded for his conduct during the 2010 G20 summit is appealing his conviction.
Supt. Mark Fenton was convicted by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission of unnecessary and unlawful use of authority in the arrest or detention of hundreds of people on June 26 and 27, 2010.
Fenton was convicted in August 2015 and sentenced in June 2016 to a reprimand and the loss of 30 paid vacation days.
In a notice of appeal, Fenton asked to be found not guilty on all counts, or else be granted a new hearing, or be given another reprimand instead of lost vacation days.
