Special prosecutor appointed in BC to handle case linked to provincial court judge's relative.

The BC Prosecution Service has appointed special prosecutor Chris Johnson in a case involving a person related to a provincial court judge. This move aims to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the justice system. Two individuals were charged on October 30 for "unlawfully being in a dwelling house" following an investigation by the Westshore RCMP for an offense that occurred on September 9 in Langford. The judge's identity and specific relationship to the accused remain undisclosed. The next court appearance is scheduled for January 23.
