Michael Rafferty is still working on getting you to pay for his appeal. The man convicted in the kidnapping, sexual assault and murder of 8 year old Tori Stafford has already been denied legal aid back in November but according to the London Free Press, has filed an application under Section 684 of the Criminal Code asking the province to hire him a lawyer. The section of the Criminal Code was used by Paul Bernardo for his appeal and is used when the courts decide it's in the interests of justice that the accused obtain a lawyer when they don't have the money to do so. Rafferty's application for a lawyer will be heard in court June 10.
