If they rule it doesn't - as [Alfonso Rodriguez]'s lawyers urged yesterday - the case will immediately end with Rodriguez being sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. Alfonso Rodriguez will die in prison. You've already decided that. The thing to decide now is whether that will happen when God decides or when man decides," [Richard Ney] said during his opening statement. Ney admitted [Dru Sjodin]'s death was "terrible" but said it doesn't meet the legal definition of being "especially heinous, cruel or depraved.
Provincial parks are special places that play an important role in the protection of natural lands and the quality of life of Manitobans. This is the opening statement of Manitoba's Provincial Parks Act. It is hard to understand how logging and mining activities are conducive to the protection of natural lands. Our provincial parks are where countless Manitobans and tourists venture to relax, to enjoy nature's glorious bounty, and to feed their souls. They do not go there to see clear-cuts and drilling equipment or the destruction associated with them. Manitoba (other than one provincial park in Ontario) is the only province in our country that allows logging in provincial parks. As long-term logging licences are up for renewal, it is time to give our parks the protection they deserve. ...
In 1984, DNA (tests) didn't exist. He denied knowing Beverley Dyke, ever having sex with Beverley Dyke. You will hear a series of denials about any possible way his DNA could have come to be (on her body)," [Brian Wilford] said in his opening statement. Jurors will also hear from "a young fellow who is not too young anymore" who recalls seeing a blue car parked near the slaying scene two days before Dyke's body was found. The man is expected to testify he saw an unknown couple inside the vehicle, which is a match to a car [Robert Kociuk] had access to at the time, Wilford said. Dyke's adult son and his wife have never spoken publicly about the arrest but did release a statement through police after Kociuk's 2005 arrest.
[Mark Tayfel]'s lawyers admit he ran out of fuel but told court the only legal question to answer is whether the pilot's conduct fell below the appropriate standard. They claim it was not and Tayfel took "reasonable" steps to ensure a safe flight. No further details were given during a brief opening statement. Terry Adams had been a co-pilot of Tayfel's earlier that morning when they flew a different set of passengers to the lodge from Winnipeg. He said there was half a tank of gas left when they touched down and Adams got off with the guests. The TSB found the pilot didn't properly calculate how much fuel he needed to fly from the lodge to Winnipeg, he didn't make sure the plane was equipped with a mandatory autopilot, and he didn't tell air traffic controllers of his critical fuel sit...
Crown attorney Gerry Bowering began the five-week trial by outlining the allegations against [Jeffrey Cansanay] in his opening statement to the seven-man, five-woman jury. Bowering said [PHIL Haiart] and [Abass Jalloh] were the unsuspecting victims of ongoing violence in a Winnipeg street gang that had recently been ripped apart by internal strife. During the early evening of Oct. 10, one of the Mad Cowz members went to the McGee residence and threw gasoline-filled bottles through the front window in an attempt to start a fire. They didn't ignite, said Bowering. Two different Mad Cowz members returned to the home a few hours later, and were immediately confronted by Cansanay and the youth, he said. Cansanay was armed with a rifle, and the youth allegedly urged him to "shoot, shoot", sa...
Democratic Sen. James Webb held a remarkable set of hearings last October on mass incarceration in the United States. In his opening statement, Webb noted that "the United States has embarked on one of the largest public policy experiments in our history, yet this experiment remains shockingly absent from public debate. At the hearings last fall, Webb underscored a basic truth sidelined in most discussions of crime and punishment: The explosion of the prison population wasn't driven so much by an increase in crime as by the way we chose to respond to crime. Even former president Bill Clinton, whose administration was an accomplice in the largest prison buildup in U.S. history, conceded in a keynote address at a University of Pennsylvania symposium in February commemorating the Kerner a...
[Carla Dewar] said the man, Danny Simao, will testify how he flew in from Ontario and was picked up at the airport by his cousin and the two other accused in a rented SUV. Simao is expected to tell court his cousin was upset after being stabbed at his sister's wedding social. A plan was allegedly hatched to go after [Ming Hong Huynh], believing he was responsible. The dispute continued as both men walked down the street. That's when another man -- alleged to have been [Glen Sherman Monkman] -- suddenly emerged from the crowd and stabbed Huynh several times. The two attackers fled into a waiting SUV, allegedly driven by [Carlos Tavares]. They said they'd 'hook him up,' " Dewar said in her opening statement. Monkman agreed to carry out the killing, saying "I'm going to get him done, I'm ...
While the Harper Conservatives insist no moratorium exists on tanker traffic in B.C. waters, Liberals announced last month -- if they form a government -- they'll nix supertankers in northern waters, including Kitimat, site of a proposed marine terminal that would carry oilsands petroleum to Asian markets by 2016. While Ignatieff says: "A Liberal government will not accept the risk of opening the entire B.C. coast to crude oil supertankers," his statement invites people to ask: "Well then, why would it open any of B.C.'s coast to supertanker traffic?" Enbridge has begun advertising against the Liberal policy, which has prompted Ignatieff to remark: "It is unfortunate, though hardly surprising, that a large, profitable energy company has chosen to launch an expensive advertising campaig...
Lads, lads I think we're going to get executed," a voice said in the darkness, recalled one of the marines, Joe Tindell. After that, someone got sick, "and as far as I was concerned, he had just had his throat cut. When confronted by the Iranians, "I explained we were conducting a routine operation, as allowed under a U.N. mandate, but when we tried to leave, they prevented us by blocking us in," Air explained in a prepared opening statement. "Some of the Iranian sailors were becoming deliberately aggressive and unstable. They rammed our boats and trained their heavy machine guns, RPGs (rocket propelled grenades) and weapons on us. "We were interrogated most nights and presented with two options: If we admitted that we'd strayed, we'd be back on a plane to the U.K. pretty soon. If we ...
When discussing his approach to the media about how he would assume control of the roster and what kind of message he would send to the players, it was reported the [Don Matthews] told the players that there was a new sheriff in town and none of the players had any money in his bank. After each game he would decide which cheques he would deposit and which he would not, and if you didn't have any money in the bank of Matthews after a game or two, well, we are starting to see the consequences of bankruptcy in Toronto and the subsequent roster displacement. It is a lot like having an 'A' in a class at school but then a new teacher comes in and tells all the students that he/she is wiping your entire grade history off of the charts. It may be inconvenient to have to go out and earn another ...
...In the making of this statement he announced his arrival as the new authority on t...With Matthews' opening statement he truly epitomizes the concept that in ...
