Toronto man pleads guilty to wire fraud after posing as pilot for free flights
The indictment said the former flight attendant used a fictitious employee identification card to obtain the free flights, according to the U.S. attorney's office.
A drug dealer accused of murder in connection with the fatal shooting of an aspiring Toronto rapper's life sentence has been delayed due to a stay of proceedings application. The case involves Lawrence Bruce, who was found guilty of second-degree murder in March 2026 after a judge-alone trial. Bruce was previously incarcerated at Maplehurst Correctional Complex (MCC) while awaiting trial.
In December 2023, a correctional officer was assaulted by an inmate, leading to an emergency response, including the deployment of the Institutional Crisis Intervention Team (ICIT), which extracted nearly 200 inmates from their cells and subjected them to searches and restraints. Bruce is one of several accused persons incarcerated during this period and is now seeking a stay of criminal proceedings against them.
Superior Court Justice Peter Bawden stated that he would have sentenced Bruce to life in prison with a parole ineligibility period of 15 years, but the stay will be heard by Justice Clayton Conlan.
