Fredericton police Chief Roger Brown issued a statement following the verdict in the Matthew Vincent Raymond trial.
“Regardless of today’s outcome, these past number of weeks have been trying for all of us,” said Brown. “When contemplating the tragic situation that we have all faced, I continue to think of the families of the two civilian victims and the two police officers, as well as the family of the accused and our police organization as a whole.”
Brown thanked the jury for their time and deliberations, adding he is fully aware no one has emerged from this situation “unscarred.”
“It is important that we respect the decision that has been passed down as we move forward,” he said.
