Richard Kachkar knowingly murdered Toronto police officer Ryan Russell, attempted to flee the scene , admitted later to doing it but claimed he didn't know what he was doing. Had a history of mental illness, Had 3 psychiatrists testify on his behalf, and was found NCR. The selling point is you...

You bet they will. As i explained in my post (#1808) in the previous page of this thread, it's the new rage.... NCR, automatism defense, and all the other excuses. Look this one up : Twinkie defense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Playing devil's advocate, for everybody who is saying...

The precedent has been set with Guy Turcotte... now this lowlife in the Toronto snowplow case. I hate to say it folks, but guess who's next? I've never been closer to kicking my TV in when this lawyer for CTV news got on there and said how (in the Ryan Russell MURDER case) , the...

Most of the European witnesses will be testifying via video-link from Europe. As far as I know the only European witness who came over / is coming over was Alex West, the Sun Reporter, as he was planning to cover the trial anyways, likely due to his previous involvement.

Let's put it this way, once he found out the dirt they dug up on him and were plastering around on twitter last night, he made the wise choice and got outta dodge. I think everyone is relieved, and now they can get on with the real business. A good article by Joe Warmington here ...

Yeah, its back on today, with one twist... apparently the fan "Kyle" has gone back home to the U.S From Twitter: Justin Ling ‏@Justin_Ling 5m #Magnotta fan Kyle has fled the country. "I don’t want to bring negative media attention." He wrote on his blog. Guess he figured it...

It appears the admirier Kyle has gone back home to the U.S From Twitter: Justin Ling ‏@Justin_Ling 5m #Magnotta fan Kyle has fled the country. "I don’t want to bring negative media attention." He wrote on his blog.

Yes, that's been hushed up big time as you said, since it originally broke. I've always wanted more insight into that. I guess we'll find out soon. If true, that testimony would be very interesting. I'm probably going to have to wait for the trial for this, but another conflict of info I'm...

I'm in Ontario, but I'm sure its the same or similiar in Quebec, and I remember hearing they came to a compromise about a defendant's appearance. They don't require you to wear a suit and pants, but they don't make you wear your prison garb either , so you can dress casual with whatever's...

I wouldn't read too much into the tears thing as of yet. An insider told me it may have just been perspiration that had gotten into the eyes causing that stinging sensation. It's a smaller crowded courtroom that is warm and stuffy. On another note, with this one lawyer leaving, it's...

So this went on today ... any theories on what the conflict of interest could be? Why would Leclair be so emotional? I'm puzzled... http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/montreal/Luka+Magnotta+case+Defence+laywer+overcome+with+emotion/8089931/story.html

Yeah, I saw that video clip on CTV as well. That guy's name is Ethan and he has a tumblr blog dedicated to LM . Actually, there's still a surprising amount of tumblr and other blogs still maintained and dedicated to worshipping him.

IMO , how could they be trial evidence if they haven't been presented at the trial? The publication ban is on evidence presented in court. These are no different than his internet ramblings, and just as public.

Yes, do post, those would be very interesting to read. Do you have them in scanned jpg format or just text? Are these VERIFIED to be genuinely from him? I've seen a few fakes floating around, but they were blatantly obviously fake just by reading them. Best to post them under the thread...

I attempted to start a new thread called "The Preliminary Hearing" to try to keep some uniformity to the current state of the case, as you can see in the below threads posts are cropping in the wrong places and older threads. It said it was sent to the moderators for approval, but I've seen or...

Figured it was better to have a proper thread for the Preliminary Hearing which started today in Montreal. So far, the day has been spent arguing back and forth whether media should be banned from the courtroom during the Preliminary hearing. SUN NEWS TV reported there was a heated exchange...

His name has legally been Luka Rocco Magnotta since 2006, so that should be the only name he is referred to by the media and otherwise.

Didn't know where else to post this inquiry, but I was looking through the archived links of the General Discussion threads (#1-10 ) at Luka Rocco Magnotta General Discussion Threads - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community and #4 and #7 are missing. Naturally, it was #4 I was looking to...

Very interesting, I don't recall that article being posted before. Its reopens the debate about adults who are living on their own, without supervision, and self administering their medication. How many other "ticking time bombs" do each of us walk by each day in the streets, in the...

The March 2013 date is the next hearing, not even the trial date. You don't have to worry, it won't be for his case. You're correct too, juries are selected and then go straight to trial. We've entered into our long lull of void between now and next year.
