   Has anyone else noticed how long it takes to get a court to hear ANY   
   case where it's a cop involved in the killing?   
   This one is no different.  It's been over a year since the shooting, and   
   still the case won't be before the courts before LATE next year.   
   Hoping for a bit of forgetfulness on the part of the public, maybe?  A   
   muted charge won't raise the hackles of the population by then?   
   Meanwhile, the cop is being paid as a cop.

   TORONTO — The Canadian Press - Wednesday, Jul. 30 2014   
      
   Toronto officer faces extra charge in Sammy Yatim shooting case   
      
   A Toronto police officer is facing an additional charge in relation to   
   the shooting death of a teenager on a streetcar last summer, as his   
   lawyers hope for a trial late next year.   
      
      
      
   Constable James Forcillo already faces a second-degree murder charge in   
   the death of 18-year-old Sammy Yatim.   
      
   Now the Crown has filed a new indictment and Forcillo has also been   
   charged with attempted murder “by shooting (Yatim) with a firearm and   
   thereby wounding him.â€�

   The reasons for the additional charge may be related to evidence from   
   the preliminary inquiry, which is covered by a publication ban.   
      
   One of Forcillo’s lawyers, Lawrence Gridin, appeared in court Wednesday   
   on Forcillo’s behalf and set Sept. 22 as a date for a judicial   
   pre-trial, which is a closed case conference between lawyers and the judge.   
      
   Yatim was shot and killed on an empty streetcar on July 27, 2013 — an   
   incident captured on surveillance and cellphone video on which nine   
   shots can be heard following shouted commands to drop a knife.   
      
   Gridin said he is hoping to set a trial date for as soon as possible,   
   but it likely won’t take place until the fall of 2015 at the earliest.
