Gerry McNeilly, the Independent Police Review Director, speaks at a news conference in 2016. Following an investigation, the independent review director in March 2015 reported finding enough evidence to support an allegation of “serious misconduct” against Howes. The upshot, according to the court file, was that the review director, Gerry McNeilly, agreed to reopen the investigation. The review director argued the Stanleys had been notified about the decision to reopen the investigation and were reinterviewed as part of it. However, Selwyn Pieters, who acted for the Stanley family, said the court decision was important to complainants across the province.
