Crown attorneys are seeking a third trial for a man convicted of manslaughter in a deadly shooting at Toronto's Eaton Centre nearly seven years ago.
Prosecutors have filed a notice of appeal to challenge Christopher Husbands' acquittal on two counts of second-degree murder earlier this year.
Prosecutors say O'Mara also erred in excluding evidence related to Husbands' criminal record and his being on bail at the time of the shooting, as well as evidence from eyewitnesses "that the accused was engaged in a targeted shooting." His lawyers said he was in a dissociative state stemming from his post-traumatic stress disorder and did not have control over his actions. They told Husbands' trial that his PTSD was set off when he ran into some of the men who had repeatedly stabbed him and then left him for dead a few months earlier.
