The final full day of an inquest into the death of a man beaten by Vancouver police began Friday with the presiding coroner rejecting a request from the family’s lawyer to have a photo showing his body at the scene submitted as evidence for the jury to see.
Lawyer Ian Donaldson, representing the family of Myles Gray, asked to have one picture entered on the basis that it would be “helpful” to the jury as they prepare to analyze days of testimony to classify Gray’s manner of death.
“A picture is worth 1,000 words,” said Donaldson.
Gray, 33, died shortly after a fight with seven police officers in a forested backyard in Burnaby, B.C.,
