Show Notes
In a gripping trial, a Burlington, Ontario couple stands accused of first-degree murder in the death of a twelve-year-old Indigenous boy they were fostering. The boy, along with his younger brother, had lived with the women since 2017 while they pursued adoption. The trial, now in its seventh month, has featured testimony from dozens of witnesses and evidence including deleted texts, security footage, and photos showing the boys conditions. The older boy was described as emaciated, with multiple undiagnosed issues. The couple testified they provided healthy meals and used restraints for safety, but harsh text messages calling the boys derogatory names surfaced. Closing arguments begin Monday, with a verdict expected this spring.
