Bulletin: Dr. Aubrey Levin: CBC News reports several of former forensic psychiatrist's grounds of appeal; Bail hearing set for February 13, 2013.


STORY:  "Calgary psychiatrist to appeal sex assault convictions," published by CBCNews on February 3, 2013.

GIST:  "Minutes after Levin was sentenced, his lawyers filed a notice of appeal, which indicates Levin wishes to be tried again by a judge and jury. The grounds of appeal cited in the notice filed include that the trial judge erred by: - "Failing to order disclosure of relevant information in the control of the Crown, which impeded the appellant's ability to make full answer and defence." - Pressuring jury members to arrive at a verdict after they had concluded that they could not reach a unanimous verdict and didn't believe further deliberations would change that. - Not allowing full and proper cross-examination. A bail hearing has been set for Feb. 13."
