High Court Will Hear Arguments

Ontario’s Highest Court says it will hear arguments about whether the makeup of jury panels is unfair to accused aboriginals.
The Appeal Court put an appeal ruling on hold last week despite having decided a jury was reasonable to have convicted a man of manslaughter in 2008.
Clifford Kokopenace was convicted in Kenora of stabbing his friend Taylor Assin to death in a 2007 fight.
Kokopenace wants to argue the composition of the jury was unfair to him.
