Thinking of evidence, I sure hope LE doesn't make the mistake that was made in the Tori Stafford case where LE failed to obtain a separate warrant for the contents of Rafferty's computer, resulting in that evidence not being allowed at trial. While the rest of Canada knew the damaging evidence, the jury didn't get to hear it. Fortunately they made the right call without it, but it was agonizing waiting for the big G word.
It was specifically this case that showed me how well our court system actually works. By disallowing the laptop Judge Heeney protected Rafferty's rights, avoiding any major appeals, all the while trusting that the jurors would find Rafferty guilty. The evidence, even without the laptop, was proven without a reasonable doubt and therefore there was only one possible verdict.
Sure, Canada's court system has seen some major blunders but at it's core it is civil and fair and it works. I trust that the person/people responsible for the murders of KL, AL and NO will receive the same protection of their charter rights that MR received. No one in this case will be going to jail if they are in fact totally innocent.
IMO
