Jury reaches verdict in 2022 fatal stabbing of Good Samaritan in Bradford
A jury has found Brandon Aaron guilty of second-degree murder and assault following a violent incident in Bradford three years ago that left a 59-year-old man, who police called a Good Samaritan, dead. The jury took about two hours to reach its verdict Thursday, convicting Aaron of stabbing David Goddard 20 times and assaulting his then-girlfriend in the early morning hours of Sept. 4, 2022. According to the Crown, the attack happened on Holland Street West around 3 a.m., after Aaron and the young woman, then a teenager, had been out drinking in downtown Bradford. The court heard she became upset with Aaron for losing her cellphone, and the situation quickly escalated. Brandon Aaron Brandon Aaron, 23, denied repeated suggestions by the Crown he was the aggressor when violence broke out between Aaron and David Goddard, 59, whom police described as a hero who stepped in to help Aaron's former girlfriend after she'd been assaulted by Aaron along Holland Street West September 4, 2022. The Crown said Aaron held a knife to her throat and later broke her arm with a flashlight she had borrowed from a nearby gas station to search for her phone. It was then that Goddard, a bystander, stepped in to help the woman. The Crown told the court Aaron became enraged, pulled out a steak knife, and fatally stabbed Goddard over and over before leaving him on the side of the road. David Goddard Cameron David Goddard, 59, is identified as the victim of a homicide on Sept. 4, 2022, in Bradford, Ont. (Supplied) The defence argued Aaron acted in self-defence and was frightened by Goddard, who was both older and larger. 'He was fearful for his life,' said defence lawyer Eugene Bhattacharya. He described Goddard's behaviour as provocative and said Aaron's ability to understand what was happening that night was impaired by intoxication. During the trial, the young woman offered a different account from what she had originally told police just hours after the stabbing. On the witness stand she claimed she broke her own arm that night and said Goddard had simply offered to take her home. The defence urged the jury to find Aaron not guilty of murder if they were left with any reasonable double about whether he acted out of fear. Ultimately, the jury wasn't swayed by the defence. Aaron is scheduled to return to court next week when a date is expected to be set for his sentencing hearing.

Bike lane proponents decry 'overreach' after committee votes not to hear them until July
Social Sharing Proponents of a protected bike lane along Winnipeg's Wellington Crescent accused city council's public works committee of a "gross overreach of power" after dozens of people slated to speak at city hall on Thursday had their delegations cancelled and put off until a meeting in July. No fewer than 27 people signed up to speak to the committee about a proposal to create a temporary bike lane on Wellington, where cyclist Rob Jenner was killed last year by a speeding motorist who lost control of his vehicle. The item was on the agenda to allow the committee to consider a request by city transportation engineers to have another month to complete a report about the temporary bike lane. Citing the request for the extension, committee chair Janice Lukes (Waverley West) moved to suspend city council rules and hear the delegations at the next public works committee meeting, slated for July 3. Lukes, as well as councillors Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River) and Ross Eadie (Mynarski), then voted not to hear the delegations. The fourth member of the committee, council speaker Devi Sharma (Old Kildonan) left the committee floor and did not take part in the vote. The decision led some people watching in the council gallery to shout at the committee, prompting Chambers to ask security to clear the council gallery of some spectators. This proved to be temporary. Linda van de Laar, who took a day off from her job as a cardiac nurse at St. Boniface Hospital to attend the meeting, said she was upset city councillors effectively silenced people unhappy with the time the city is taking to improve safety along Wellington Crescent. She accused the committee of overreaching its powers and engaging in an unprecedented move by shutting out registered delegates. "The councillors are here to represent the citizens and the residents, so I do not understand it," van de Laar said outside city hall. "A lot of people here took time off from work to be here. I personally cannot make it on July 3. I'll be on a night shift," she said. Ian McCausland, a Bike Winnipeg board member who was able to address the committee because he also registered to speak about another item on the agenda, said he is concerned about the message sent by the committee to people who take the time to engage with city councillors. "It speaks to how much the city might value the input from the average citizen," he said. "I'm hoping that this is a one-time thing and that they actually continue to engage with all stakeholders on the project." Van de Laar said she was especially upset Lukes told CBC Radio on Wednesday she would hear delegates on Thursday. 'I'm disappointed too,' councillor says Lukes, who volunteered as a bike and pedestrian trail activist prior to running for council in 2014, said she knows what it's like being on the outside of council, looking in. "I don't think there's anyone here that understands the level of frustration like I do, because I was an advocate and came down 50 to 60 times, very frustrated," she said during a break in the committee meeting. "Then I actually decided to put my name on a ballot and see if I can make change on this side of the table. Making change is not easy, I've come to learn, on either side of the table." Lukes said she was the councillor who originally pushed to reduce the speed on Wellington Crescent and she too is disappointed. "Everyone's disappointed. I'm disappointed in some of the things that have been said to me and to the committee members. They're disappointed that we don't have a plan in place," she said, referring to the delegates. "I'm disappointed too, but we will have a full report next month." Lukes said the city is moving more quickly on a protected bike lane on Wellington Crescent than it has on other protected lanes. She said a temporary barrier is the only option right now because permanent barriers are built when streets undergo full renewals — and Wellington Crescent is not slated for this work any time soon.
