The trial of Ontarian Kenneth Law, who faces 14 counts of premeditated murder for assisted suicide, will not take place in September 2025, but only in January 2026, his lawyer tells CBC.
-The postponement is intended to allow the Supreme Court of Canada to hear an appeal by the Crown in Ontario in another case involving assisted suicide and murder.
This case concerns a nurse and the use of insulin for an alleged attempted murder. The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in this case that the accused must override the victim’s free will to commit suicide
for it to be murder or attempted murder.
This case could therefore have repercussions on that of Kenneth Law, who is accused of having operated websites selling a potentially fatal substance to suicidal people.
Kenneth Law plans to plead not guilty to the murder charges against him, according to his lawyer Matthew Gourlay.
