	Officer Defends Decision Not to Lay Charges By Trevor Pritchard Standard Freeholder May 23, 2008 http://www.bishop-accountability.org/AbuseTracker/Officer%20defends%20decision%20not%20to%20lay%20charges A veteran Cornwall cop wanted medical records or the testimony of Marc Latour's parents before charging the Grade 3 teacher who allegedly abused him, the Cornwall Public Inquiry heard Thursday. Det. Sgt. Jeff Carroll described those elements as "the cat's meow" and said they would've solidified his case against Gilf Greggain, who taught Latour in the late 1960s at St. Peter's Elementary School. ... As with Latour, Carroll testified he could not uncover enough evidence to corroborate Lalonde's claim he was abused by Rev. Charles MacDonald, a retired Roman Catholic priest. The OPP charged MacDonald in 1996 on a number of sex abuse counts, but the charges were stayed in 2002 when a judge ruled they'd taken too long to come to trial. Carroll said Thursday he had doubts whether the alleged abuse - which came to Lalonde in a flashback as an adult - happened at all, never mind whether it involved MacDonald.
