The sentencing hearing continues today for a Toronto police officer convicted of attempted murder in the shooting death of Sammy Yatim. Forcillo “failed to follow his training and common sense and chose to pursue an unnecessarily aggressive and emotional approach,” Crown prosecutor Milan Rupic said. James Forcillo arrives for the first day of his sentencing hearing on May 18, 2016. The police officer was convicted of attempted murder in the July 2013 death of Sammy Yatim. They have argued Forcillo basically acted in “excessive self-defence” when he fired the second volley.
