	Baltovich-New-Trial, 4th Writethru Bgt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Robert Baltovich walks out of the Don Jail free on bail after a new trial in the conviction in the murder of his girlfriend 12 years ago was ordered by Ontario's Appeal Court in Toronto in December 2004.
		Robert Baltovich, a man who spent eight years in prison for a murder both he and his supporters have long insisted he didn't commit, must stand trial a second time for the 1990 death of 22-year-old Elizabeth Bain, prosecutors said Friday.
		Baltovich, whose conviction in 1992 was overturned on appeal late last year, will be tried for the second-degree murder of Bain, who vanished in June 1990, said Brendan Crawley, a spokesman for Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General.

		The woman Baltovich was convicted of murdering, his girlfriend Elizabeth Bain, can't speak to coroners and police investigators, not even as a corpse on a morgue slab.
		Baltovich's appeal lawyers have argued that compelling evidence - including a witness statement supportive of his alibi and pages from Miss Bain's diary that might have shed light on the disputed status of their romantic relationship at the time - was never disclosed to the defence team.
		Baltovich trial, most demonstrably in the area of the trial judge's heavy-handed charge - utterly biased, the defence avows - to the jury, and the prosecution's failure to disclose evidence that could have helped the defence, even - in their view - gutted the case against their client.

	CBC News Indepth: Robert Baltovich
		A compromise is struck: one of Baltovich's other lawyers, Brian Greenspan, is to pursue the Bernardo-related aspects of the case, while Lockyer is to represent Baltovich in all other aspects of the case.
		Baltovich's lawyer asks a private investigator, Brian King, to focus on evidence relating to Bernardo and any connection he may have had with Elizabeth Bain.
		Baltovich's lawyer, William Gatward, argues that the evidence in the case suggests someone other than his client could have killed Elizabeth, including the "unidentified blond man" several witnesses had reportedly seen her with before she disappeared.

		Baltovich's lawyers present their argument in a 40-page brief to the court, one of several volumes of material that became public yesterday as the appeal court began hearing a marathon eight-day appeal of Baltovich's 1992 conviction for second-degree murder.

		Ontario's highest court is expected to release its long-awaited decision on the appeal of Robert Baltovich, who was convicted 12 years ago of murdering his girlfriend, on Thursday.
		Baltovich's lawyers, James Lockyer and Brian Greenspan, have argued their client should be acquitted of murdering 22-year-old Elizabeth Bain and that the Crown's theory is "ridiculous."
		Baltovich was found guilty of second-degree murder in 1992 and served eight years before being released on bail in 2000 pending his appeal.

	Police lax, Baltovich defence team says
		Baltovich, 39, isn't accusing police or prosecutors of misconduct — at least not at this point — but "one cannot do anything but conclude" that Detective Sergeant Brian Raybould in particular, one of the two lead investigators in the case, "was grossly negligent," James Lockyer told the Ontario Court of Appeal.
		If Baltovich was the killer, it would make no sense for him to go to the class because the prosecution theory was that Bain was dead by 7 p.m., Lockyer told the court.
		Roberts also suggested Baltovich could have crawled out a window of his basement bedroom in the early morning hours of June 22, 1990 — when his mother says he was at home sleeping — and driven Bain's body north to Lake Scugog to bury it.

	Robert Baltovich OR Wrongful Convictions - DigsBoards
		So many people have supported Robert through this whole thing, convinced of his innocence, even though they don't even know the man. SO much evidence was overlooked, and the police not only railroaded a 25 year-old scared and grieving man, but also failed to disclose important evidence to the defence.
		Anyway, I recommend the book on Robert Baltovich to anyone who's following the story on TV (in Canada anyway, I don't know if it's making news anywhere else), and for info on the other wrongful convictions I mentioned, "Manufacturing Guilt" by Barrie Anderson is wonderful in describing how these travesties occur...

		Baltovich left Toronto's Don Jail and told reporters the verdict is a "small step" toward establishing his innocence, before returning to his father's home in the eastern suburbs.
