Vancouver Police say a man was arrested after lawyers for Ibrahim Ali said someone brought a loaded gun to the final day of their client91裸聊视频檚 trial last week, where he was convicted of murdering a 13-year-old girl.

Vancouver Police spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison says in a statement the man was released pending further investigations.

Lawyer Kevin McCullough said in an interview Monday that Victoria Police told him someone close to the proceedings brought a loaded Glock handgun to court with an intention 91裸聊视频渢o kill91裸聊视频� on Friday.

McCullough has filed notice of appeal against his client91裸聊视频檚 conviction for first-degree murder in the killing of the girl in Burnaby91裸聊视频檚 Central Park in 2017.

The notice of appeal filed Monday lists 25 grounds, including that the court didn91裸聊视频檛 properly address safety concerns about death threats against Ali91裸聊视频檚 lawyers, and that there were 91裸聊视频渢hird party suspects91裸聊视频� in the girl91裸聊视频檚 death.

McCullough says two other men were arrested for the killing, but the B.C. Supreme Court erred by refusing to allow evidence about them to be brought up at the trial.

The notice also describes 91裸聊视频渢wo Asian men91裸聊视频� who McCullough says were seen carrying a heavy bag near where the girl91裸聊视频檚 body was found.

Other grounds for appeal include alleged bias against the defence, and a dispute over the Crown91裸聊视频檚 suggestion the girl did not have a boyfriend.

The trial concluded Friday with the jury convicting Ali of killing the girl who can91裸聊视频檛 be named because of a publication ban, although hearings on matters arising from the case continue.

Another affidavit filed Dec. 5 describes more than a dozen messages received by McCullough and his firm that includes threats to kill the lawyer and his family.

A hearing on Tuesday was moved to courtroom 67, which is fitted with a metal detector, and everyone who entered was screened and their bags were checked by sheriffs.

The main Crown evidence against Ali was semen found inside the girl91裸聊视频檚 body that was a DNA match for Ali.

McCullough had told the jury that the girl was not an 91裸聊视频渋nnocent91裸聊视频� child as the Crown had portrayed during trial, that she was a teenager and that it wasn91裸聊视频檛 91裸聊视频渙utlandish91裸聊视频� to suggest she may have found Ali attractive.
