A convicted murderer who killed a Crown witness recently spoke at a conference of provincial court judges following an invitation that has sparked outrage within the judiciary, the Star has learned.
Cosmo Jacobson was convicted by a jury in 2005 of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the execution-style 2001 shooting of security guard Roy Jones near his home in Ajax. Jones had been scheduled to testify against Jacobson as the key prosecution witness in a home invasion case; he was ambushed as he returned from work.
One of em likely released him on bail to begin with.
