Judge dismisses media attempt to report details of mental-health history of accused in Lapu-Lapu case
Media outlets will not be able to report on the mental-health history of the man accused in the Lapu-Lapu Day street festival attack before his eventual trial on 11 counts of second-degree murder and 31 counts of attempted murder, a judge has ruled.
On Thursday, B.C. Provincial Court Judge Reginald Harris dismissed an attempt by a media consortium, which includes The Globe and Mail, to lift a publication ban on details of this summer’s hearing into the mental fitness of Kai-Ji Adam Lo.
