EDMONTON - An Ottawa prosecutor will lead a review of Alberta's bail system following the shooting death of a Mountie earlier this year.
Nancy Irving is expected to make recommendations to the Alberta government in February.
A key question is who should be conducting initial bail hearings in the province -- Crown prosecutors or police officers.
Const. David Wynn was shot at an Edmonton-area casino in January.
The killer, Shawn Rehn, later killed himself in a nearby home.
Rehn, a career criminal with a history of violent behaviour, was out on bail after a hearing in which an Edmonton police officer consented to his release.
