He’ll be sentenced next Friday, but that likely won’t be the last we’ve heard of now-former RCMP officer Monty Robinson.
Many unanswered questions remain, such as what will his pension package look like, and will the force try to reclaim any of the disgraced officer’s salary, dating back to 2008.
Speaking on CKNW’s The World Today Weekend, SFU criminologist Rob Gordon says Robinson clearly had an exit strategy.
“It was totally to his advantage to have remained with the RCMP as long as possible, because they would be basically footing the bill. More correctly, the taxpayers would be footing the bill.”
In March, Robinson was convicted of obstructing justice in the death of Delta motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson.
It wasn’t until his sentencing hearing last week that the RCMP announced it had received and granted his request to be discharged.
The crown is calling for up to nine months in jail.
