The Supreme Court of Canada says Dennis Oland should’ve got bail while waiting to appeal his murder conviction. The landmark ruling says the New Brunswick Court of Appeal made the wrong move by denying it. No one convicted of murder in the province has ever been granted bail pending an appeal. This ruling is the Supreme Court’s first of its kind.

Washabuck fire case
A Little Narrows teen has been committed to stand trial on charges involving fires in Victoria County last summer after a preliminary hearing this week.
The judge found there was enough evidence against 19 year old Dylan Bradley MacLean to go to trial on four counts of break, enter and theft in connection with fires in an abandoned two storey farmhouse and three bungalows in the Washabuck area last August. He’ll be back in court in June when a date will be set for his trial.
Another teen Cody James Foster, of Sydney; is also undergoing a prelim in the case.
