Dispersing the Fog - E52 Parole for Former Spy Cameron Ortis, Deep Fakes Not "Intimate Images", 'Red Alert' Book Review, 'The Getaway', Rattlesnake Sentencing, Allan Legere Dies in Prison
Sunday, 15 March, 2026

This week, it is just Adam and Paul, discussing the week's news and released cases. There is breaking news this week, as the guys discuss former spy Cameron Ortis being granted early parole from his 14 year jail sentence. This story was national news when Mr. Ortis was tried and convicted, but his being granted parole has not been covered by any mainstream media outlet. Also this week, a judge in Nova Scotia has rendered a decision that 'deep fake' nude images created by AI are not captured by the Criminal Code, acquitting a man who used AI to make nude pictures of former classmates. Also discussed, the upcoming book on the RCMP, 'Red Alert', by Kent Roach, a sentencing decision from Alberta where the judge reduced the sentence by one year due to threats from the Edmonton Police to release more information on the case if they did not approve of the judge' sentence, and the death of New Brunswick serial killer, Allan Legere.
