MCC Day 65 - Hiding the Testimony of Cst. Wiley, the RCMP Officer Who Was Friendly With Killer

The MCC heard from Cst. Greg Wiley, who was the officer who knew Gabriel Wortman as a community contact, and had approximately 15 interactions with him in the years before the mass shooting. Cst. Wiley was granted the most unusual of accommodations by the MCC, so that the video or audio from his testimony cannot be broadcast, under threat of criminal sanction should the order be violated. Cst. Wiley showed no obvious signs of requiring accommodation, and in an attack on the media at the end of his testimony that was dripping in irony, claimed to be speaking for the families in criticizing the media for making errors in reporting. He said that he could take it, but it was unfair to them. That was a bit rich, coming from someone who literally asked for accommodations because he could not 'take it'.
