ONTARIO

[Part 1 of 2 ] On a dark icy evening at a suburban Toronto subway station, a parking lot attendant came across an odd sight: protruding out of the driver’s side window of a tan Mustang, was a pair of legs.

They belonged to a 36-year-old lawyer. And he was dead. The investigation that ensued uncovered a deadly tale of sex, lies, betrayal and corruption, that would be called Canada’s version of “Double Indemnity”.

The intention of this series is to take a look back at a shocking crime sensationalized through headlines and reveal the inner workings of the criminal justice system.
