The latest news regarding Leon's case is a only a small step, but nevertheless, a step closer to freedom.
The Innocence Project is waiting for a letter from the Saskatchewan government pertaining to Supreme Court Laws in this province. Once the letter is received, Leon's application will be filed with the Convictions Review Group. We trust the Saskatchewan government will act in a timely fashion and respond as soon as possible.
Retainer money has been sent to a very prominent attorney who has worked on numerous wrongful convictions. It is our hope that he will begin the preliminary work on Leon's bail application and therefore once the 696 application is filed, the bail application will be ready to be heard by the Court.
Finally, after 8 long, miserable years, it looks like the clock is ticking down and Leon will be home soon!!
