Bailey McCourt - Part 2

Hours after being convicted of assaulting his wife Bailey McCourt, James Plover walked out of a Kelowna courthouse on existing bail. Within three hours, she was dead, killed in a parking lot in broad daylight in front of witnesses. She was 32 years old and a mother of two.

This is Part 2 of a two-part series on the Bailey McCourt case. In this episode we cover the July 4th attack, the questions it raised about how the justice system handles intimate partner violence, and the national push for legislative change that followed. We spoke directly with members of Bailey's family, who have been advocating for Bailey's Law, Bill C-225, which passed second reading in the House of Commons with a unanimous 325 to zero vote. If you have not listened to Part 1, start there.
