Calgary Sun: OKOTOKS — Supporters crowded into the Okotoks courthouse cheered and wept with joy Friday morning as all charges were dropped against Edouard (Eddie) Maurice, the local rancher who fired a warning shot at trespassers on his property.
In court, the Crown said there was “compelling” evidence in a forensic report from the incident that would not lead to a conviction for Maurice.
Police say the 33-year-old property owner shot at two trespassers on his rural property near Okotoks in the early morning hours of Feb. 24. The RCMP said a man and woman were “rummaging” through a vehicle when the shots were fired.
