(7th) 133, [2018] Y.J. No. 45 (QL), 2018 CarswellYukon 50 (WL Can.), affirming the conviction of the accused for first degree murder. Appeal dismissed, Karakatsanis and Brown JJ. dissenting. Vincent Larochelle, for the appellant. James C. Martin and Noel Sinclair, for the respondent. The judgment of the Court was delivered orally by [1] Abella J. — Applying R. v. Bradshaw, 2017 SCC 35, [2017] 1 S.C.R. 865, a majority of this panel would dismiss the appeal largely for the reasons of Dickson J.A., and Justices Karakatsanis and Brown would allow substantially for the reasons of Bennett J.A. [2] The appeal is therefore dismissed. Judgment accordingly. Solicitor for the appellant: Tutshi Law Centre, Whitehorse. Solicitor for the respondent: Public Prosecution Service of Canada, Halifax, Whitehorse.
