Crime

They’ve remodelled their noses, smoothed out their wrinkles, and filled their faces with silicone. However, for these fugitives, the goal wasn’t to regain an air of youthfulness, but an attempt at freedom.

That appears be in the case in the ongoing manhunt for ex-Olympian-turned-drug lord Ryan Wedding, sought by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation for allegedly running a cross-border drug trafficking ring that routinely smuggled enormous quantities of cocaine into Canada and orchestrated multiple murders in Ontario.

No, it’s not too much to ask of someone convicted of murdering their own mother.

In 2003, when she was 15, she and her older sister drowned their alcoholic mother in the bathtub of their Mississauga home after plying her with vodka and Tylenol 3s laced with codeine. The teens then gleefully collected the $133,000 in life insurance and boasted about their sick crime.

Rowdy, drunk and high, the wild pack of troubled young girls met up at Yorkdale before hopping on the subway to head downtown.

By the end of the night, after what a judge would call “brazen, feral and immature” attacks on other commuters, being thrown out of TTC stations, and shoplifting, the vicious girls savagely swarmed a defenceless homeless man across from Union Station, leaving him with a fatal stab wound to the heart and 19 injuries from blunt-force trauma.

Mere months of probation for murder is the wrong signal to send our feral youth.

Kenneth Lee did not know his heart was pumping blood freely into his chest cavity as he sat on the steps near the concrete parkette.

If he felt it, he did not complain about a stab wound, superficial, to his armpit or draw attention to the one to his left chest that was killing him.

Instead, he apologized to the two attending paramedics for being a burden as they came to check him over.

In a political world where Democrats are scrambling to memory-hole every scrap of the Jeffrey Epstein disaster that is damaging to their own party, and trying to make it a Donald Trump scandal, the media is more than happy to help them rewrite history.

The Trump administration is meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday to discuss what she knows about her paedophile ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, will visit the British socialite at a jail in Tallahassee, Florida, following a request from President Donald Trump to release “all credible evidence” related to the paedophile financier.

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in helping Epstein recruit and abuse underage girls, is the only person to have ever been convicted in connection with his crimes.

I hope I’m wrong, but my bet is the Hockey Canada players will walk out of a London courtroom as free men this Thursday when the judge hands down her verdict in their sexual assault trial.

That’s what usually happens in “he said/she said” cases like this. He almost always walks.

A myth is a story that expresses the collective dreamworld of a culture: its fears, its wishes, its self-conception. Some myths refine themselves over generations. Others spring into consciousness in an instant. A bit of story or news captures the imagination so thoroughly that the entire culture suddenly projects its hope or terror onto a single hero—or, more often, a villain.

Jeffrey Epstein is one of these myths. Since his arrest and jailhouse death, the disgraced financier, socialite, and pedophile has become America’s most famous villain, an archetype who offers virtually all factions something to hate.

The DNA of an American woman alleged to have been involved in a failed assassination attempt was found on gun parts illegally sent to the UK more than a month later, a court has heard.

Aimee Betro, 45, is alleged to have flown from Wisconsin as part of a plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 56, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, of Derby, to attack a rival family on Sept 7 2019.

A trial at Birmingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday that Ms Betro had been involved in “yet another” of Mr Nazir’s plots to take revenge on a rival when she was alleged to have sent three parcels full of ammunition and gun parts to the UK on Oct 16 2019.

A Toronto YouTuber said he was contacted by police after hosting a livestream with a teen boy claiming responsibility for the fatal stabbing of a 71-year-old woman in North York.

In the livestream, archived on social media, the boy is barely visible, his eyes peeking out from above a dark face covering, shadowed by a large hood, as the interviewer questioned him about the stabbing.

“I didn’t even mean to f—-ing kill the old lady,” the teen said. “I was trying to get the ‘v’ from her as a free car.”

“It went left,” the boy continued. “She didn’t give me the keys so I yoked her.”

Denied a Free Car! Clearly Demon Boy is the real victim and we must bear that collective burden.

A verdict this week in the prosecution of five hockey players on sexual-assault charges could break new ground on the question of what constitutes voluntary consent, in cases of an apparent power imbalance – in this instance, multiple men in a hotel room with an intoxicated woman most of them had never met.

The trial, which heard closing submissions last month, has given a rare national profile to how the criminal-justice system addresses sexual assault. The trial’s many unusual elements, including seven days of cross-examination of the complainant, and allegations against five young men from Canada’s 2018 gold medal-winning world junior team, have combined to give this case a broad importance in social and legal terms.

Front and centre is the issue of consent.
