Nearing a decade after Cindy Ali was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her severely disabled 16-year-old daughter, the Ontario mother has one more chance to clear her name as the case goes to trial — for the second time — in Toronto this week.
Ali’s daughter, Cynara, died following an incident in her Scarborough, Ont. townhome on Feb. 19, 2011. She was 16 years old.
After a total of 10 hours of deliberation, the jury found Ali guilty of first-degree murder, a conviction that comes with an automatic life sentence. As the call played out in the courtroom, Ali wiped away tears, her voice heard frantically yelling "Help me" and exclaiming, "My baby!” to 911 dispatchers. While much of the call is indiscernible, dispatchers can be heard trying to obtain the address and whether a child had been hurt.
He told the court he began resuscitation efforts on Cynara, which successfully brought back her vitals.Initial cross-examination of the witness by Lockyer Tuesday narrowed in on whether a set of footprints was observed on the front steps of the house by first responders when they arrived.
The Crown’s evidence submission is scheduled to continue Wednesday, with the testimony of a Toronto police detective and initial statement videos. Four people, including 2 police officers, injured in Pickering, Ont.
