Saskatchewan to unveil throne speech as legislative session kicks off

James Plover walked out of the courthouse in Kelowna on July 4 after being convicted of assault by choking and uttering threats to cause death. His hearing had lasted 18 minutes. Sentencing was set for September, back at the courthouse in the British Columbia Interior. Since Mr. Plover’s arrest a year earlier, and through a trial in the spring, he had abided by bail conditions that restricted contact with the person he had assaulted, whose identity is protected by publication ban.
