Crown lawyer argues delays in Ibrahim Ali's murder trial primarily due to defense and "extraordinary events," with remaining delays totaling 25 months, potentially leading to Ali's release without sentencing.

Crown lawyer Daniel Porte argues that delays in the trial of Ibrahim Ali, who was found guilty of murdering a 13-year-old girl in Burnaby, BC, were primarily due to the defense and "extraordinary events." Porte claims that if these events were excluded, the remaining delays would amount to around 25 months, which falls within the 30-month threshold set by the Supreme Court of Canada. If successful, Ali's lawyers' Jordan application could result in Ali being released without sentencing for the 2017 murder.
