Scott Carter was accused of attacking an Indigenous man he mistakenly believed was tampering with his wife's car.

The charge for the alleged assault of the Indigenous man, however, was dismissed because the man died before trial.

Carter and two other former Edmonton Police Service officers asked the court to assess whether they followed the law in relieving them from duty without pay.

The case resurfaced this week as part of a judicial review application.

The email was released in 2009 as part of a legal proceeding, revealing Carter had said, “ An Aboriginal ’ is actually just an Indian ” and reccomended calling the prisoner transport van “the mobile Native Friendship Centre ” In 2009 , then- Edmonton Journal columnist Paula Simon called the Socko list “asinine”.
