''Ali's lawyer brought the so-called Jordan application in an attempt to stay the proceedings on the grounds it took too long for their client to get to trial, a limit Canada's High Court has set at 30 months.''

*Motions Hearing (@ am PT) – British Columbia, Canada – M. S. (13) (last seen alive on July 18, 2017 at a local Tim Hortons, Burney B.C. & her body was found 5 hours later on July 19, 2017 in Burnaby’s Central Park, Vancouver) - *Ibrahim Ali (27 @ time of crime/28/now 33) arrested & charged (9/7/18) & indicted (11/25/19) with 1st degree murder. Plead not guilty. Held without bail. Vancouver Supreme Court
Police used a new & somewhat controversial “DNA dragnet” technique, after collecting DNA at the crime scene that indicated a suspect of Middle Eastern descent. (He is a Syrian refugee who entered Canada 3 months before murder).
Trial began on 3/17/23 with jury selection & ended on 3/23/23.
Trial began on 4/5/23 & continued on 4/11/23. Crown rested their case on 11/17/23. Defense began on 11/20/23 & rested their case.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lance Bernard presiding. Crown prosecutor Isobel Keeley & Daniel Porte & defense attorney Ben Lynskey & Kevin McCullough.
Jury deliberations Day 1 (12/7/23): probably ~1 hour. Day 2 (12/8/23): a few hours (~3 hours). Total deliberations: ~4 hours.
Verdict: Guilty of 1st degree murder.

2/9/24 Update: Hearing held. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Lance Bernard ruled, rejecting an application by the convicted killer's lawyers who said they feared for their safety. Ali's trial lawyers, Kevin McCullough & Ben Lynskey, have been refusing to attend post-trial hearings, citing safety concerns over an allegation the girl's father brought a loaded gun to the Vancouver courtroom on the day of the verdict. But Justice Lance Bernard denied their application on Friday. The father hasn't been charged in the alleged gun incident, although Bernard said he is aware of “an outstanding police investigation” into the matter. The judge said the man was arrested & released with orders not to attend court in person, not to contact Ali or his lawyers, and not to possess any firearms. Those conditions - along with the move to a secure courtroom equipped with bulletproof glass - strike the right balance between safety & the father's interest in following the proceedings, Bernard said in his reasons for the ruling. Ali appeared by video on Friday. He has yet to be sentenced in the case, but he faces a mandatory life term with no chance of parole for 25 years. The judge also tried to set a date to hear arguments over a so-called “Jordan application” by Ali's lawyers, seeking a stay of proceedings on the basis of unreasonable delays in the case. If granted, Ali would go free without sentencing. Bernard said he had been “determined” to deal with the application in March. But the court heard that a transcription company estimated it would take 12 to 14 weeks to provide documentation that defence & Crown lawyers said they need. The judge adjourned the proceedings until Monday, 2/12/24, asking the lawyers to return with “some answers” in relation to the request for transcripts & the timeline. The "Jordan" framework sets a presumptive acceptable period of delay between charge & conclusion of trial is 18 months for provincial court trials & 30 months for superior court trial. The period is calculated from the time of charging until the actual or anticipated end of trial, minus defence delays. Next motions hearing on 4/2/24.
4/2/24 Update: The lawyer for Ali who was found guilty of killing a 13-year-old Burnaby, B.C., girl is asking Judge Nernard to stay the jury's verdict over unreasonable delays in getting the man to trial. Kevin McCullough brought the so-called Jordan application before the court in an attempt to stay the proceedings against Ali on the grounds it took too long for their client to get to trial, a limit the High Court has set at 30 months. If granted, Ali would go free without sentencing. The Jordan application was filed on Dec. 7, before the jury began its deliberations, McCullough said. The Crown has not yet made its submissions in the application and McCullough is expected to continue his arguments tomorrow, 4/3/24.

Just got this alert - I "think" this is for 4/3 hearing - as it does say 2nd day of hearing.
April 3, 2024
The lawyer for Ibrahim Ali, the man found guilty of killing a 13-year-old girl in Burnaby, B.C., said a "culture of complacency" from Crown and the court created so many unnecessary delays in proceedings that the verdict should now be stayed.
Kevin McCullough made the arguments on day two of a hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver into a Jordan application filed on behalf of Ali.
[.....]
McCullough said issues not associated with the accused caused delays of close to 60 months, about double that of the Jordan standard.
He said a decision by Justice Lance Bernard to dismiss an adjournment application brought by Ali's original defence team in August of 2020, coupled with issues of court mismanagement effectively "doomed" the case to exceed Jordan deadlines.
[.....]
Crown counsel is expected to bring arguments against the Jordan application when the hearing resumes on Monday [4/8/24].

The prosecution in the Ibrahim Ali murder case says an application to have his guilty verdict thrown out for delays should be dismissed because most of the delays were caused by Ali, his lawyers and events outside of the Crown's control.
.
.
.
The defence argued last week that the delay in the case had been between 52 and 60 months – far above the 30-month ceiling set by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. vs. Jordan.
But Crown prosecutor Daniel Porte said the total delay, once the court subtracts the delays caused by the defence and by events beyond the Crown’s control (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), was only 25 months.

Crown blames most of Ibrahim Ali murder trial delays on defence, ‘extraordinary events’
The body of a Burnaby, B.C., girl was found in Burnaby’s Central Park in July, 2017, and Ali was charged with first-degree murder about a year later

Mr. Porte is expected to continue his arguments Tuesday [4/10/24].

4/8/24 Update: The prosecution says an application to have his guilty verdict thrown out for delays should be dismissed because most of the delays were caused by Ali, his lawyers & events outside of the Crown's control. The defence argued last week that the delay in the case had been between 52 & 60 months – far above the 30-month ceiling set by the Supreme Court of Canada in R. vs. Jordan. But Crown prosecutor Daniel Porte said the total delay, once the court subtracts the delays caused by the defence & by events beyond the Crown’s control (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), was only 25 months. The Crown is expected to continue its response to the delay application this week. Motions hearing continued on 4/9/24.
