The trial of a Winnipeg police officer charged with allegedly using excessive force and striking a 12-year-old boy last year hit a delay Tuesday when the boy and his mother didn't show up in court. The boy's sister, who filmed the interaction that got Guyot charged, was in court Tuesday, but her testimony was postponed. This video sent to CBC by family shows a Winnipeg police officer allegedly slapping a 12-year-old boy after the teen swears at the officer. The boy's mother previously said her son wasn't charged and was released at a street corner a short time later. After issuing the arrest warrant, Judge Rolston adjourned the trial, which is expected to resume Thursday morning.
