"The Crown must now prove that Const. Forcillo had the intention of killing Mr. Yatim and that he did not have any reasonable grounds to fear for his own life."
At the beginning, I don't think the cop had an intention to kill him. The constable just responded to the call, like many other cops did.
But why did he kept shooting after the guy was already floored? At that point, you can say that he was not trying to arrest him, he was determined to terminate him. That being said, the Crown will have problems demonstrating intent. Just like Forcillo will have problems demonstrating that he was actually justified. It can go either way.
