Evidence in a bizarre case of a Canadian soldier accused of drugging comrades with marijuana-laced cupcakes was lost by military police — a turn of events that has the soldier’s lawyer accusing the Department of National Defence of conducting a sloppy, incompetent investigation.
First: don’t dose people without their consent!
Seems to me that if the chain of evidence and rules and such were followed for the one wrapper, then proceed with charges, but perhaps only 1x each charge.
She’s a “Bombardier”, so likely a member of the Gagetown-stationed artillery unit. If she was “serving at the canteen”, she’s just one of the people that ran the pop, chips, candy, etc. (never beer; sometime cigs depending on the Company Commander’s or Warrant Officer preference) setup must units have. Alway run as a non-profit, so cheap (like 25 cents for a can of pop). Usually volunteer, sometimes “volunteered”. Every company in the RCR had their own, with different items avail. Every tank platoon had one.
Weird thing: article has generic shots of a Leopard II MBT and a sniper. No artillery pieces.
