First Appeal will decide legal remedy
The Ontario Court of Appeal will hear arguments today in a case that could lead to several convictions being overturned in the province as a result of secret jury vetting by the Crown and police.
The appeal filed by Ibrahim Yumnu and two other men is the first opportunity for the court to decide on a legal remedy for the improper jury checks that occurred across Ontario for several years, until the practice was exposed last spring by the National Post.
