| Nadia Kajouji embraced by her father |
KITCHENER — Local MP Harold Albrecht
criticized a U.S. court ruling that overturned the conviction of a man
charged with encouraging a Brampton teen to take her own life.
William Melchert-Dinkel, a former nurse from
Minnesota, was convicted in 2014 of attempting to assist the suicide of
18-year-old Nadia Kajouji, who died after jumping into the Rideau River
in Ottawa in 2008.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Monday
there wasn't enough evidence to uphold the conviction in the Carleton
University student's death.
