B.C. judge rejects bid to throw out Ibrahim Ali’s conviction for teen girl’s murder
April 11, 2024
A British Columbia Supreme Court judge has rejected an application to throw out the conviction of Ibrahim Ali for the murder of a 13-year-old in Burnaby, B.C., over what his lawyers say were unreasonable delays in the trial process.Justice Lance Bernard made the ruling Thursday, with reasons to follow, moments after defence lawyer Kevin McCullough made his final rebuttal in the application that could have seen Ali go free.“Given that this matter has gone over a two-week period, I’ve had some opportunity to consider the application,” Bernard said.
