Gregory Dunn, [The accused]’s Calgary-based lawyer, reportedly said he expected the death penalty to be waived despite the pleas of Hassell’s family. “I appreciate that the authorities are indicating they are going to consult with the families, because that’s the right thing to do.

Those who are informed, he continues, know defence lawyers are as important as prosecutors, judges and every other part of the justice system in ensuring both victims and the accused are treated fairly.

Gregory Dunn, [The accused]’s Calgary based lawyer, said his client welcomed the government's involvement. “They want an assurance the state of Arkansas will not be seeking the death penalty.
