COUPLE CHARGED IN COLD CASE MURDER
In 2017, Ms. Page represented the step-mother of a teenage girl whose body was found burning in a suitcase in 1994. The girl’s father was also charged. The client was released on a $1000 bail with no deposit. The jury accepted the defence submissions that the client was not guilty of first-degree murder since there was insufficient evidence of “planning and deliberation”. Instead, the jury convicted the client of second-degree murder, thereby avoiding a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment.
