Luka Magnotta's lawyers are seeking a designation of not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder. CAMH's Sandy Simpson explains why that doesn't mean he gets off easy.

With the trial a week away, lawyers for the grieving father are requesting that certain exhibits be played in court once to the jury - but they should never be made public.

The Crown prosecutor in the Luka Magnotta case is hopeful an upcoming trip to gather witness testimony in Europe won't delay the accused's first-degree murder trial.

Crown prosecutors hope to use evidence from a preliminary inquiry during the trial as the building superintendent where Magnotta lived and where alleged murder took place has died.
