Quebec Court Judge Suzanne Vadboncoeur uttered a conditional apology before an inquiry panel on Friday, conceding it was possible she insulted a special constable inside the parking garage at the Montreal courthouse. Jean alleged the judge insulted him on Dec. 8 after he and another special constable had difficulty opening a garage door that temporarily prevented Vadboncoeur from exiting the courthouse. Jean explained to her that there was a technical problem and that he and another special constable were trying to fix it. “I told him we were imprisoned in the garage,” Vadboncoeur said. According to a summary of Piazza’s statement, Vadboncoeur spoke to the other special constable and threatened to file a complaint against Jean.
