🚨 Delitos y seguridad pública

  1. Acusado en el asesinato de 2024 en un laberinto de maíz de Edmonton dice que la víctima era nazi. Michael George Ferzli, 43, enfrenta juicio por homicidio en segundo grado por la muerte, el 27 de agosto de 2024, de Joseph Farnsworth, de 53 años, y solicita al juez Bob Aloneissi que lo declare no responsable penalmente por esquizofrenia. El tribunal escuchó que ambos hombres vivían en el mismo hogar grupal supervisado y que estaban en una salida programada al laberinto en Parkland County cuando ocurrió el ataque.
  2. Hombre de Sherwood Park acusado por material de abuso sexual infantil creado con IA. La unidad contra la explotación infantil en internet de ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams) informó que un hombre de 51 años arrestado el 25 de junio supuestamente usó inteligencia artificial para sexualizar fotos y videos de varias víctimas conocidas; los investigadores hallaron una colección extensa durante el análisis forense de los dispositivos incautados y presentaron cargos adicionales además de los cargos previos por posesión y distribución.

  1. Joven de 18 años con discapacidad severa se le negó brevemente AISH hasta que el caso llegó a los medios. El hijo no verbal y en silla de ruedas de Kristi Hall-Busque, Ben, que requiere atención las 24 horas incluyendo una enfermera nocturna, recibió la notificación de que era empleable y se le negó el Ingreso Asegurado para Personas Severamente Discapacitadas (AISH) a principios de este año; la provincia revirtió la decisión la mañana siguiente a que el caso de la familia llegara a los medios.
  2. Arrastre de avión en Edmonton recauda fondos para los viajes médicos de Hope Air.
