    Quote from the article “a judge excluded key evidence allegedly linking him to a street gang, including music videos, social media posts and portions of a YouTube interview.

    Hassan Ali, who performs as Top 5, was about to stand trial in front of a jury for allegedly directing the murder of Hashim Hashi, a 20-year-old accounting student who was not involved in criminal activities”

    So he excluded publicly available information.

    People wonder why I argue for judicial reforms.

    Our judges should be required to remain neutral, explain laws as required and ensure they are followed.

    Juries should decide guilt, punishment and if evidence should be exempt.

    Man unless I’m missing something this is closer to Parties to an Offence

    https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-21.html

    Parties to offence

    21 (1) Every one is a party to an offence who

    (a) actually commits it;

    (b) does or omits to do anything for the purpose of aiding any person to commit it; or

    (c) abets any person in committing it.

    Marginal note:Common intention

    (2) Where two or more persons form an intention in common to carry out an unlawful purpose and to assist each other therein and any one of them, in carrying out the common purpose, commits an offence, each of them who knew or ought to have known that the commission of the offence would be a probable consequence of carrying out the common purpose is a party to that offence.

    R.S., c. C-34, s. 21

    If I aid and or abet a crime I go to jail.

    If a judge does it he gets a stern smack on the wrist.

    If enough people notice he might even get scolded.

  2. And we’re probably going to be writing him a six figure cheque for the three years he spent in prison.

    Always confess your criminal actions on social media. Then it’s inadmissible in court 

  4. I wonder why that was. I couldn’t read the article, and I’m not inclined to comment on just the headline.
