It’s been over two years since Cindy Ali appealed her conviction of first-degree murder in connection with the death of her 16-year-old disabled daughter. In a second trial starting this week, she will have one more chance to clear her name.

, the Crown alleged she decided to kill her seizure-prone daughter by suffocating her with a pillow, then tried to cover up her crime by blaming a home invasion. The prosecution argued the robbery tale suggested Cindy had planned the murder.

"On the path cut by the trial judge's instructions, the jury's verdict of guilty of first-degree murder could have been based almost entirely on finding the appellant fabricated the home invasion story," the Appeal Court said.
