London, Ont., police officer guilty in death of First Nations woman

A London, Ont., judge has found a police officer guilty in the death of a First Nations woman who died shortly after being arrested.

London police Const. Nicholas Doering was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life to Debra Chrisjohn, 39, of Oneida of the Thames First Nation.
