Allyson McConnell

Justice Minister Jonathan Denis Dept: But that won't stop the provincial government from appealing both the conviction and sentence of Allyson McConnell, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "The appeal will continue even if she is not in the province. If our appeal is successful, I fully intend to leave no stone unturned to ensure that she comes back here and answers for her crimes." EDMONTON -- An Australian woman who has finished her jail term in Alberta for drowning her two children has been ordered to remain in custody over the weekend and is expected to be removed to her native country on Monday. "This is not over," said Justice Minister Jonathan Denis, who said the province will proceed with the appeals with or without McConnell's presence. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
