VANCOUVER - Vancouver police are recommending charges against 20 more people suspected of taking part in the Stanley Cup riot last June.
This brings to 100 the number of people the police want charged with a total of 278 offences, but the Crown still has to approve the latest charges.
So far, only 30 people have been charged with 78 criminal offences and the Crown has said it expects to approve charges against 30 others by the end of the month.
Meanwhile, the first person to plead guilty in the riot, Ryan Dickinson, was in court with a new lawyer who says he will argue against having Dickinson's sentencing hearing broadcast on TV, which the government wants for all riot-related cases.
As a result, Dickinson's hearing has been delayed.
He pleaded guilty to participating in a riot and breach of recognizance related to a previous assault charge.
