Defence Submission: Vader and Marie Mccann

defence submission: Albert, just north of Edmonton, in July 2010, according to The Chronicle Herald. Justice Denny Thomas dismissed a defence submission that Vader should get a lesser sentence because his rights were violated in custody. Travis Vader was found guilty of manslaughter last fall in the deaths of Lyle and Marie McCann, who were in their 70s when they vanished after leaving their home in St. He did, however, agree to a defence request that Vader serve his sentence in British Columbia because of threats he has received. IMMIGRANTS AND CANADA' A new study from Statistics Canada suggests that the proportion of immigrants in Canada's population could reach up to 30 per cent in 2036 compared to 20.7 per cent in 2011 and a further 20 per cent of the population would be the child of an immigrant, up from the 17.5 per cent recorded in 2011. Thomas said Vader will be eligible for parole in seven years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
