TL:DR

Okay, so this double murder case from '94 is straight-up *drama*. The Crown just conceded the appeal of one dude, Cochrane, who was already convicted. Now they're asking for a whole new trial. And get this, they *just* dropped the charges against another suspect, MacGregor, 'cause of some sus evidence. Genetic genealogy was a big part of linking these dudes. The cops and the Crown are throwing out statements left and right. This case is MESSY.

The Tea is Piping Hot 🔥

Alright, fam, lemme break this down for you. This case goes *way* back to '94 – like, before some of y'all were even born. Two dudes, Buchart and Deakins, got iced, and the case went cold. Fast forward to now, and the Crown *finally* got convictions... or so we thought.

So, Cochrane was found guilty of the double murder, but now the Crown is like, "Nah, my bad, we're conceding his appeal." They're saying they want a whole new trial. His lawyer, Der, is out here saying the appeal had "good grounds" based on some new arguments. Sounds kinda sus, TBH.

But wait, it gets even wilder! They also charged another dude, MacGregor, with the same murders. But plot twist! The Crown just straight-up *dropped* the charges against him. They're saying there was an "insurmountable evidentiary issue," which is basically code for "we ain't got the receipts." 😬

Apparently, investigative genetic genealogy was a huge part of cracking this case. They used it to link Cochrane and MacGregor to the crime scene. But clearly, something went wrong with the evidence against MacGregor. The Alberta Crown Prosecution Service and Calgary PD are both tryna spin this, saying how complex old homicide investigations are and how things have changed over time. But let's be real, this is still a major L.

The streets are saying this whole thing is a mess. Stay tuned for more updates, 'cause this ain't over yet.
