    Insider: How did Robert Badgerow get released on bail?

    In episode 25 of the Hamilton Spectator's Newsroom Insider, host David Crosbie talks to Susan Clairmont about convicted killer Robert Badgerow.

As of August 24, an Ontario appeal court has granted him bail while waiting on that appeal. Which means that he will soon be out of jail, back home with his family.
