Woodstock police Const. Eric Dopf received a conditional discharge after pleading guilty to assaulting Che Bosch, who later died. Dopf kicked and punched Bosch, who was handcuffed and compliant, in October 2022. The court heard that Bosch died 'in a separate incident' during the same sentencing hearing. Dopf's lawyer emphasized his client's clean record and received a conditional discharge, meaning no criminal conviction if he complied with conditions. Dopf's past incident involving another individual, Robert Winmill, was not mentioned during the sentencing hearing. Winmill had been arrested and charged with resisting arrest and assaulting Dopf, but was acquitted due to lack of evidence. Dopf still faces a potential Police Services Act hearing over his actions during Bosch's arrest. The case raises concerns about the disclosure of previous misconduct allegations against an officer during a trial. The Crown Prosecution Manual in Ontario requires police and the Crown to disclose any previous findings or allegations of police misconduct that relate to the subject matter of the offence. However, it is unclear why the allegations against Dopf and the judge's questioning about his possible assault were not disclosed during his recent trial. Bosch's family believes that the justice system failed them and is considering civil action against the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre (EMDC), where Bosch was held before his death. Medical care at EMDC has been a factor in several inmate deaths, and the family alleges that Bosch's time at the jail contributed to his death. The family is also calling for the dismissal of Dopf from the Woodstock police force [ea8764a0].
