Ellard, was found guilty of second-degree murder in her first trial in March 2000, but the verdict was overturned on appeal. The second trial ended in a hung jury in July 2004. Found guilty in a third trial in April 2005, Ellard was sentenced to life in prison and was to serve seven years before seeking parole

Welcome to the Canadian judicial system...

Well put.

I just heard her defense lawyer on the radio this afternoon and he seems to think she'll walk because of the elapsed time since the murder. His argument is that no one can really remember everything correctly that far back

So you can be sure he'll try and stop any evidence that was given in the bitches first three trials from being heard in this one and given our fair and unbiased judicial system he's likely right.

That litlle C*&T should stay in jail until she is found not-guilty, I live in Victoria and I remember how horrified the whole city was when this happened. Again and again our Justice system fails the victim for the "rights" of the accused. I am disgusted!

Justice postponed is justice denied.. except in Canada where it's just damned good business.
