The trial of Kenneth Law, charged with 14 counts each of first-degree murder and aiding suicide, has been delayed to January 2026 due to a Supreme Court appeal.
The upcoming Supreme Court appeal could alter the prosecution's approach, as it questions liability in cases where individuals provide lethal substances to those who choose to commit suicide.
Prosecutors argue that a recent Ontario court ruling complicates the legal framework, suggesting that mere distribution of lethal substances doesn’t necessarily equate to murder if free will was maintained.
Law's case involves allegations of operating websites to sell sodium nitrite and other self-harm items, with implicated individuals aged between 16 and 36.
