    Ontario mom cleared of killing her baby in discredited ‘shaken baby’ case (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Hours after being acquitted of manslaughter in the death of her infant son, Jennifer Gaskin expressed no bitterness — only relief at being cleared of the label of “monster” and reuniting with the children she’d lost for more than two decades because of the conviction. On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal for Ontario, describing the case as part of a “sad litany” of wrongful convictions, ruled she should never have been found guilty in the death of Joeseph, the result of now “discredited” shake

    Judge won’t jail Ontario billionaire Frank Stronach for sexual offence — ‘I’m not going to order custody for a man who is 94’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Superior Court Justice Anne Molloy said Thursday she will not be sending billionaire businessman Frank Stronach to jail for indecent assault, despite the Crown’s request for a custodial sentence. Although Molloy said she has not yet settled on the final punishment, she told the court after hearing legal arguments that “I’m not going to order custody for a man who is 94.” The prosecution was seeking a six‑month custodial sentence for a sexual offence decades ago — a position the defence

    Read excerpt

    The prosecution is asking a Toronto judge to send Frank Stronach to jail, seeking a six‑month custodial sentence for a sexual offence decades ago — a position the defence argues is “excessive,” asking instead for an absolute discharge. The 94-year-old billionaire businessman is facing a sentencing hearing at the downtown Toronto courthouse for indecently assaulting V.T., a woman now in her 70s.

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A victim’s family sobbed in a Toronto court as they listened to a chilling recording of an unknown man coaching a then‑16‑year‑old on how to shoot and kill their loved one — and to provide a video as proof for payment. As part of his guilty plea earlier this summer to first-degree murder and firearms offences, A.P. admitted he was recruited by “an influential adult” to both shoot businesses tied to the tow truck industry and to carry out a murder. A.P. is facing a blended 10-year term

    Judge grants injunction halting Doug Ford’s cash bail system. Legal groups argue law is unconstitutional (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A Toronto judge has agreed to issue an injunction suspending Ontario’s new cash‑bail system, halting the regime just two weeks after it took effect and in the wake of a constitutional challenge. “The effect of the impugned legislation may result in persons who would have otherwise been released, having their release denied or delayed,” Superior Court Justice William Chalmers wrote in a decision released Monday. Last week in a Toronto court hearing, lawyers for the Canadian Civil Liberties As
