The Supreme Court of Canada is set rule tomorrow on an appeal by two men found guilty of first-degree murder in the gang executions of six people in Metro Vancouver more than 15 years ago.
Lawyers for Cody Haevischer and Matthew Johnston argued last October that the men were wrongfully denied a chance to give evidence about "egregious" police misconduct and cruel in-custody treatment that tainted their convictions.
Johnston died last year, but his lawyer says he wanted the top court to order a hearing so the public would know the extent of the police misconduct.
The B-C Court of Appeal ruled in 2021 that the two men should be allowed to seek a stay of proceedings for abuse of process but stopped short of overturning their guilty verdicts.
