No Plea For Junior Hockey Accused, Ortis Sentence, Mother of Michigan Shooter Convicted, Lyle Howe Appeal Win
This week saw the first court appearance of the five 2018 Canadian Junior hockey team players accused of sexual assault. I review their first appearance, and explain how the situation is being manipulated by the London Police and/or Crown, and what that means for the outlook of the case against the players. Cameron Ortis, the former Director General of the RCMP National Intelligence Coordination Centre, was sentenced to 14 years in jail after being convicted of passing on secret information to targets of Canadian intelligence officials. In Michigan, the mother of a 15-year old school shooter has been convicted of four counts of involuntary manslaughter. I discuss how that can happen, and whether that could take place in Canada. Finally, I review the Court of Appeal win for disbarred Nova Scotia lawyer Lyle Howe. Mr. Howe, a talented young lawyer, is alleging that the Bar Society engaged in malicious prosecution against him, and the Court of Appeal is allowing him to make that claim after it had been dismissed by a motions judge last year. I finish off with my pick for the Super Bowl, which should be a great game!
