Chris Leather testified at the Mass Casualty Commission Thursday about the criminal charges laid against Lisa Banfield, who was accused of supplying ammunition to the gunman, Gabriel Wortman. "There was corporate awareness at the highest level of our decision to continue the investigation and submit it to public prosecution." Leather testified Thursday that while there were discussions about how charges would be perceived, they did not factor into the decision to charge her. Just weeks before she was charged, Banfield re-enacted for police investigators what she saw and experienced the night of the mass casualties. "When you talk about harms, when you talk about wounding, when you talk about betrayal, that was institutional betrayal and secondary wounding by the RCMP."
