And a three week trial might have cost Noudga another $100K in legal fees, if not more.
Still don't think that it would have cost CN or her parents a dime. I think she had a "benefactor" who paid for this attorney to make this trial go away.
MOO

How did she procure Greenspan in the first place? I hope we find out.
Doing some reading...it seems she may be able to get a chiropractic license (I'm not sure what "health sciences profession" she is planning on). While criminal background checks are required, the language I found said that governing bodies are "allowed" to reject or strip licences based on criminal records, it's not guaranteed. The top pages on a search within Canada yields info from BC but also this story about a Mississauga Chiropractor.
Dugan had his licence suspended for four months by the College of Chiropractors of Ontario back in 2010 after a disciplinary panel found he failed to disclose that he was convicted criminally of performing an indecent act in front of a female high school student at Erin Mills Town Centre on Oct. 5, 2006.
Convicted six years ago in Brampton court, Dugan received a conditional discharge and 18 months probation, with conditions that included counselling and staying away from Erin Mills Town Centre and John Fraser Secondary School.
Dugan, a registered chiropractor since 1998, remains an active member of the CCO, but his current status isn't immediately known.

Actually, I've just found the Ontario board which only states that one must disclose a conviction but nothing about whether this would disqualify an applicant/member. It certainly doesn't disqualify one from applying or practicing without a license, which would just be rich, IMO.

I can't find a media link to this yet, but before 6:00 pm news on CBC Radio 99.1 as I was driving home, the newscaster (maybe the one who did the 5:30 news) announced that CBC television would be presenting a special on the Bosma case in two weeks on a Friday, program not named.
I am guessing it's The Fifth Estate. The speaker went on to say it featured interviews from "new witnesses" and other "new" material.
Not enough to make me go out and get a TV (I have never owned one) but I'll try to watch it online when we find out exactly when and where. Maybe someone else can track it down. Others must have heard the same thing on 99.1
I just came across this:
http://cnews.canoe.com/CNEWS/Crime/2016/11/22/22684955.html
Noudga, an Oakville resident, was arrested about a year after Bosma died and charged with accessory after the fact but she pleaded guilty to the lesser but included offence today on the morning her trial was scheduled to begin.
There would have been insufficient evidence to find her guilty on the accessory charge, said Justice Toni Skarica while passing sentence
A propos of this, there's no reason to suppose a mystery here. Just because Greenspan is known to represent billionaires doesn't mean he has no middle-class clients. Her parents may have needed to cash in RRSPs or take out a second mortgage or some such thing, but we don't need to hypothesize an outside benefactor. Guy Paul Morin's parents did this in order to hire top lawyers to defend their son, They were people of modest means.
But as someone pointed out, money may have been one factor impelling her to be quiet and accept a deal that would save her parents a lot of money. And worst case scenario, if she had gone to trial and been convicted, it would certainly have been appealed, and yet more legal fees would have been required.
In hindsight, one wonders why the Crown went this route when, from Justice Skarica's remarks, those of Crown Moodie and the statement of facts, the Crown really didn't have evidence of her knowledge of the murder - THE key factor in a crime of AATF. Thinking strategically, the Crown may have upped the ante and pursued this course in order to get something out of her and a conviction of some kind for her role in the case.
When the time came for her to say something, I wasn't surprised she said nothing to show remorse or empathy for the Bosmas. She feels none. Her reactions have always been self-involved. Never any sign of concern for others, and I was actually relieved we weren't treated to some phony show of "remorse" that would not have fooled anyone anyway. If she were a different kind of person, she would have offered one, but the only sorrow she feels is for having been caught.
One thing Dr. Robert Hare points out about people with psychopathic tendencies (which she might have), they look out for Number One, and they can be guided towards more acceptable behaviour by appealing to their self-interest. It's in her interest to stay away from low-lifes such as DM and MS and their crowd, Whether she will take the judge's advice to heart remains to be seen.
KH has stayed out of trouble in the years since her release, and possibly CN will as well. But she will always be the kind of person we have already seen. The leopard doesn't change its spots.
At least she has a criminal record and will have some consequences, however inadequate. I felt real trepidation that a trial could end in an acquittal. At least that was not the result.
As was mentioned by a couple WSers, I am wondering about this possibility: Perhaps CN has some information regarding DM's alleged murders of LB and/or WM, therefore the Crown and Greenspan arranged for this "slap on the wrist" plea deal in exchange for her testimony in the two upcoming trials? Anyone think that is a feasibility?

I haven't made my loathing for this girl a secret, but I will acquiesce to those much smarter than I. It is what it is and for reasons ...some clear, some not. Doesn't mean I can't be curious. I question her "house arrest", I question her morals (which I do realize are not covered by law), I question why the right questions were not asked and answered in the 8 page statement to the court, I question why the "rabbit" is not facing the same charges, I question a lot. Does getting her DNA on file perhaps lead to more questions? Why in the world would an attorney of Greenspans ability advise her to take a criminal rap when "supposedly" the case couldn't be won by the Crown. (and $ spent doesn't cut it for me. JMO) Did SB choose not to attend because she wanted to move on or was she angry with the deal? Why was SS not investigated more? In fact why didn't the whole lot of them own up to their true involvement (or just association with the parties) when they realized that his had now gone further than a "fun" adventure or "mission". Thru it all from start to finish..to all involved. I hope nightmares haunt them all to the end of their dying days for their part in this completely senseless tragedy! RIP TB
Noticed CN's instagram today shows a photo of a wedding cake and candles? Not sure what she is insinuating with that - candles = BBQ (aka incinerator). Cake = celebrating her relationship with DM. Weird photo to post day after her trial...

Thanks for this info. If I am reading it correctly, these cases are if they are already licensed. I think the onus is on them to report anything new.
As CN would be a student entering into her chosen field, I could be wrong, but I believe it may be different. My daughter is a Paramedic student and has had to provide a clean Criminal history report before each year of study or it was a no go.
Thanks for this info. I was so mad that I wasn't going to post until the next trial![]()
