New from me: an Edmonton attempted murder trial has fallen apart after the alleged victim told Crown he wouldn’t testify. Crown also tried to call victim’s brother — who witnessed the shooting — but he skipped court and police couldn’t find him. edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/att…

Great followup on a disturbing Edmonton case.

(Also, it strikes me as a weird quirk of the Canadian justice system that someone can fail to show up for sentencing after being convicted of threatening an MLA, and no photo of that person is made public.)
