It must have been some leftist guerrillas trying to pin it on pinochet. It is important the residence is there because the residence it self now has a bust of Orlando Letelier to try to remember him also. Around the circle, we have these two memorials to this one man and of course, to Ronni Moffitt. Sheridan circle will be marked forever by this one event. Hello, everyone. We can hear everyone.

We are awaiting the biggest wave of results that we will get tonight. 263 polls about to close to alberta that includes ontario, and the northwest territories. Some battlegrounds places you just need to win if you want to form government. The picture where the country is headed is about to get a whole lot clearer.

Because of a hung jury Derick Almena my face another trial but i could backfire for the prosecution. Theyre not going to have a good guy and a bad guy. Reporter max harris was a bit of manslaughter.

Its a mistake for them to retry this case. Its throwing good money after bad it is not going to make anything better. The attention now turns to city lawsuits, thats why it was set for next year. Mary alexander says she is still moving forward to prove negligence. Some people would say in time for retribution. Lets go after the people that are partially responsible. Reporter if the da would retry the case this legal analyst have a suggestion.
