At a sentencing hearing at the Auckland High Court on Friday Feb. 21, 2020, the killer, who has name suppression, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years.

Defence lawyers had claimed the death was accidental after the pair engaged in consensual erotic choking that went too far. A jury in November rejected that argument and found the man guilty. “Grace was vulnerable. She was a young woman in a strange country, and you were a stranger who she trusted,” the judge said, according to news organization Stuff.

Here’s how a new device is helping Regina police detect THC in driversRegina police are armed with a new roadside tool to help detect THC use in drivers. I'm very interested to see how this plays out in court. This machine does not and can not determine if someone is intoxicated. Go stop the blockades ffs Excellent, keeping the drug heads off the road. Hope it stands the legal test in court when sleaze bag lawyers try to challenge the results.

Alberta ends long-standing master agreement with doctors, new rules to be in place April 1Changes include new fee rules on extended patient visits that doctors have already said will devastate the bottom line for some family and rural practices In the end it's the patients who suffer. No two patients visit are the same, of course some are more complex. Don't be surprised if our Drs move to greener pastures. Attack on Albertans, plain and simple. UCP plan is always to eliminate healthcare services. The services they do keep are always placed further out of the reach of patients. Citizens of Alberta, you will need to pay out of pocket for anything that resembles modern care.
