There should be a judicial review of Alberta Justices refusal to prosecute an Edmonton police officer whose violent attack on a handcuffed prisoner was captured on video, a former British Columbia solicitor general says.

After the video was disclosed, prosecutors stayed four criminal charges against the man, and instead charged one of the arresting officers with assault.
