Marcia Dooley and her husband Edward (Tony) Dooley were convicted of second-degree murder in 2002 for the death of Tony’s son Randal.

The boy endured months of brutal physical abuse – most of it at the hands of Marcia Dooley – after he and his brother moved from Jamaica to Toronto to live with their father and stepmother in 1997, court records show.
Less than a year after arriving in the Dooley’s home, Randal was dead.
