Umar Zameer, who was cleared of charges of murder and manslaughter in the death of Toronto police Const. Jeffrey Northrup, says he’s been “overwhelmed” by the outpouring of support he’s received in the wake of his acquittal.

Jurors found the 34-year-old accountant not guilty of all charges in the death of Const. Jeffrey Northrup.
