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!!

Hi Nancy and Leon
Great work so far, only it takes forever to get to the bottom of it.
I know the feeling, I been there with stuff like that as you can only imagine.
I sat with Leon many nights talking and listening, I know in my Heart he will be set FREE one day,even if its all his time.
I'm in a battle myself at this time it goes back 34 years and boy it feels GOOD that they are listening to me (us) now.
Say hi to Leon, you been a great women standing behind him all these years.
GOD BLESS
