US EditionMyles Gray Police Beating Hearing Adjourned After Hot Mic Obscenity
The hearing into Myles Gray's 2015 death was paused after a lawyer's obscenity was aired, delaying testimony from over 30 witnesses, including police and civilians, until Monday.
- Jan. 22, 2026: The hearing was adjourned after a lawyer's obscenity was broadcast on the live audio feed in Vancouver, halting Wednesday's testimony, the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner said.
- At its root, the hearing was convened because Gray's family requested a public proceeding to examine the 2015 police beating, with the OPCC scheduling it for ten weeks due to extensive evidence.
- During an exchange about evidence, the live audio stream captured a lawyer whispering `stupid,` and an obscenity, prompting Adjudicator Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey to move the hearing in-camera.

- The case carries weight because the seven Vancouver police officers have denied misconduct, none were charged, and more than 30 witnesses will address Myles Gray's 2015 injuries.
