The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that an Alberta court was right when it allowed statements made by an accused murderer during a police sting operation to be entered as evidence.
In February 2008, Dax Richard Mack was convicted of shooting his roommate, Robert Levoir, and burning his body in a wooded area near Fort McMurray.
In a police sting known as a Mr. Big operation, Mack told undercover Mounties posing as gangsters that he'd killed Levoir and then disposed of the body on his father's land.
Mack insisted during his trial that his confession was fake and aimed at impressing the supposed gang.
In a July ruling, the Supreme Court warned Canadian police forces against relying on Mr. Big operations.
On Thursday, first-degree murder charges against a Nova Scotia man accused of killing his former partner were withdrawn when the Crown said there are scant prospects for a conviction against Albert Baird because of the Supreme Court's directives.
