UPDATE: 12:31 p.m. Butch Bagabuyo’s first-degree murder trial is now underway in a Kamloops courtroom. Lawyers spent the morning slowly filing exhibits in court — among them two shovels, a large wheeled storage tote, rope and a 12-inch saw blade. Bagabuyo, a lawyer himself, is accused of murdering his client, Mohd Abdullah. Abdullah’s remains were discovered in the back of a Budget rental van parked on the driveway of a home on a cul de sac in Dufferin.

Prosecutors want a Kamloops rapist to spend three years in federal prison for choking and sexually assaulting his friend after inviting her over for a visit. Gordon Leary, 48, was convicted following a trial last year in B.C. Supreme Court on charges of sexual assault and assault by choking. The victim, who cannot be named under a court-ordered publication ban, said she has known Leary for more than a decade. She said they used to exchange flirty texts and she found him attractive.

RT @JonSavoyiSwear: When he said they’re giving migrants sex changes I nearly spit out my dog
This is all true
Will just note that I recently had beers with the writer of the story (Foulds was invited but sick) & we came to the conclusion that we aren't giving up on this sicko job. (And that, like, it's not completely doomed.) (And we were only half-a-beer deep at that point.)
