The B.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeal building in Vancouver on Aug. 23, 2019.
B.C.'s Court of Appeal has overturned the acquittal of a man charged in a Cranbrook double homicide after finding that police did not use "trickery" to obtain self-incriminating statements from the accused.Posted: Oct 25, 2024 5:33 PM EDT | Last Updated: 2 hours ago
Writing for the three-person panel, Justice Mary Saunders stated: "I conclude that a fair and objective consideration of the transcript reveals no evidence of police conduct that could reasonably be seen as "police trickery."On May 29, 2010, Cranbrook RCMP responded to calls of a shooting at a rented rural residence near Highway 93 and discovered the body of MacFarlane, 43, and a critically injured Taylor, 42.
"The theory of the Crown was that Mr. Correia and a co‑accused were members of a gang engaged in criminal activity, including dealing in illicit drugs, and that they attended the residence intending to kill Doug Mahon, a member of the rival gang who had resided there previously," the appeal court ruling said.
Correia was arrested in Edmonton, where he was living with his family and working as a foreman building a tunnel for the Edmonton Transit System.
