Police make arrest after loaded gun brought into B.C. murder trial courtroom

Ibrahim Ali香蕉视频直播檚 lawyer seeks murder appeal, citing 香蕉视频直播榯hird-party suspects香蕉视频直播

Vancouver Police say a man was arrested after lawyers for Ibrahim Ali said someone brought a loaded gun to the final day of their client香蕉视频直播檚 trial last week, where he was convicted of murdering a 13-year-old girl.

Vancouver Police spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison says in a statement the man was released pending further investigations.

Lawyer Kevin McCullough said in an interview Monday that Victoria Police told him someone close to the proceedings brought a loaded Glock handgun to court with an intention 香蕉视频直播渢o kill香蕉视频直播 on Friday.

McCullough has filed notice of appeal against his client香蕉视频直播檚 conviction for first-degree murder in the killing of the girl in Burnaby香蕉视频直播檚 Central Park in 2017.

The notice of appeal filed Monday lists 25 grounds, including that the court didn香蕉视频直播檛 properly address safety concerns about death threats against Ali香蕉视频直播檚 lawyers, and that there were 香蕉视频直播渢hird party suspects香蕉视频直播 in the girl香蕉视频直播檚 death.

McCullough says two other men were arrested for the killing, but the B.C. Supreme Court erred by refusing to allow evidence about them to be brought up at the trial.

The notice also describes 香蕉视频直播渢wo Asian men香蕉视频直播 who McCullough says were seen carrying a heavy bag near where the girl香蕉视频直播檚 body was found.

Other grounds for appeal include alleged bias against the defence, and a dispute over the Crown香蕉视频直播檚 suggestion the girl did not have a boyfriend.

The trial concluded Friday with the jury convicting Ali of killing the girl who can香蕉视频直播檛 be named because of a publication ban, although hearings on matters arising from the case continue.

Another affidavit filed Dec. 5 describes more than a dozen messages received by McCullough and his firm that includes threats to kill the lawyer and his family.

A hearing on Tuesday was moved to courtroom 67, which is fitted with a metal detector, and everyone who entered was screened and their bags were checked by sheriffs.

The main Crown evidence against Ali was semen found inside the girl香蕉视频直播檚 body that was a DNA match for Ali.

McCullough had told the jury that the girl was not an 香蕉视频直播渋nnocent香蕉视频直播 child as the Crown had portrayed during trial, that she was a teenager and that it wasn香蕉视频直播檛 香蕉视频直播渙utlandish香蕉视频直播 to suggest she may have found Ali attractive.
