Vancouver hearing into death of Myles Gray to resume after counsel for OPCC resigns
The hearing was paused after counsel Brad Hickford resigned over an obscene remark heard on a public audio livestream, delaying the 10-week inquiry into Myles Gray's death.
- Yesterday, the OPCC hearing adjourned after hearing counsel Brad Hickford resigned over an obscenity caught on the public audio livestream.
- Audio from microphones on several tables revealed an obscene phrase `stupid c**t` last Wednesday during testimony, audible on the public audio livestream; Hickford denied making it and resigned citing memory loss.
- As hearing counsel, Brad Hickford acted as prosecutor calling witnesses and led RCMP officer Robert Nash through radio transmissions, while on Monday most microphones at podiums and adjudicator's table remained during the 20-minute hearing before lunch.
- The delay now deepens the Gray family's decade-long fight, as Arnold-Bailey warned rescheduling could take up to 12 months and the family faces added stress from stalled accountability efforts.
- Given Hickford's extensive preparation, Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey urged participants to 'get over it and get on with it,' while Richard Neary said Hickford would return if invited.
