Re: 9 Dead in Van Incident in Toronto
Drifting the thread a little further to the subject of Sammy Yatim's death: today's news is that James Forcillo's appeal was dismissed. His conviction - and sentence - were upheld.
I hadn't realized that he'd been in prison pending his appeal. He was bailed initially after his sentencing hearing in late 2016 but breached his bail conditions (moved house, away from his now-ex-wife's place and in with his new fiancee) without getting the proper permissions first. That really does smack of a contempt for the law that I'm rather pleased has come back to bite him. Having been suspended without pay pending his appeal, I imagine he will now be dismissed from the police service as well. I can't muster up much sympathy for him, I'm afraid.

He has been on full pay since the murder of Sammy and we still paying him now even after a guilty verdict “sigh”
