...10 years later...The Supreme Court of Canada has restored a B.C. woman's conviction in the swarming murder of 14-year-old Reena Virk, a case that horrified the country and led to a national debate about the scourge of youth bullying.If only the Canadian "justice" system put the same sort of emphasis on victim's rights.
In an 8-1 ruling this morning, the court overturned a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that had invalidated Kelly Ellard's conviction following her third trial in the notorious case.
Kelly Ellard... like Karly Kurls... soon to be released on an unsuspecting public.
