Thanks ColdpizzaSensational murder trial of Douglas Garland will dominate Calgary court cases in 2017
DECEMBER 28, 2016
Garland is charged with first-degree murder in the June 30, 2014 deaths of little Nathan OBrien, 5, and the boys grandparents, Alvin and Kathy Liknes.
The trio disappeared from their Parkhill-area home that day and their bodies have never been found.
Garland was arrested days after their disappearance after police scoured his parents acreage northeast of Calgary.
His trial, beginning Jan. 16, is set to last five weeks, with veteran defence lawyers Kim Ross and Jim Lutz acting for him.

I hope this brings some small comfort to the loved ones once it's over.
I am forever dismayed and shocked at how long it takes to get to trial in Canada, here in the UK, from arrest to trial and sentencing can take 6-12 months on average and that's with a not guilty plea!
