What's on my mind today
One of Mr. Crabby's highschool friends was murdered in 1990. The eventual arrest and conviction of her boyfriend Robert Baltovich was historic in Canadian criminal law, as it was the first time someone had been convicted without the recovery of the victim's body. Some of Mr. Crabby's other friends testified at his trial.

Baltovich was released on parole, pending his appeal - another landmark and historic decision by the courts. Evidence suggests that Liz may have been killed by someone else; you can read about it here.

It's upsetting stuff. I remember sitting behind her family at mass in Scarborough throughout the early 90s. People stared at them a lot, even in church. Will the outcome of this hearing bring her family peace? It's been 14 years since her murder, and they still don't have a body to bury.

Mr. Crabby tells me she was a lovely person, that she bought his used textbooks every year as she was one grade below him, and that she was a fast runner.
