A judge has reserved his sentencing decision in the case of Edmonton police Constable Michael Partington, who was found guilty
of assault during an arrest in 2019.
Court heard another officer had stopped an Indigenous man for riding a bike without a bell on a sidewalk. Video of the arrest shows the man on the ground in a prone position, and Partington driving his knee into the man's back.
The Crown says Partington should serve jail time _ 60 to 90 days _ followed by 12 to 18 months of probation, but his lawyer says jail
time isn't required.
