Eaton Centre shooting, June 2, 2012 -man found guilty gets a new trial - motive was revenge on two men, from Husbands being stabbed 20 times by a gang on Feb.28 earlier that year - claims the murder actions were conducted when Husbands was dissociated from his own body - claiming not guilty due to PTSD https://torontosun.com/news/crime/trauma-from-gang-ambush-influenced-shooter-defence

did not feel like he was in conrol when his arm raised and pulled the trigger https://globalnews.ca/news/4607351/murder-trial-for-alleged-eaton-centre-shooter-begins/

will admit he was the shooter, but claims not criminally responsible due to mental disorder https://www.sootoday.com/national-news/eaton-centre-shooter-seeked-street-justice-after-being-stabbed-prosecution-1102601

Husbands was granted a new trial in July 2017 as the Ontario Court of Appeal stated the judge made a mistake in their decision to deny "rotating triers" in the selecting the jury. Originally convicted of second-degree murder, Husbands is now claiming he had no control over his body. His lawyer stated, "He experienced auditory and visual hallucinations. He has no memory of the events that followed inside the food court." They are making the case that his actions were a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, from growing up in an unstable home in addition to being stabbed 20 times earlier that year, and therefore should not be held criminally responsible for the causalities and assaults. Sophia Bush

Bush is a founding member of the resistance movement of TIME's UP. Two of her contributions include partnering with a clothing line to benefit Planned Parenthood and giving a speech at the Women's March on January 20,2018. Sophia is also constantly using her social media platforms, such as Twitter, encouraging people to participate in the ongoing activism opportunities around the world.

In the recent allegations of Brett Kavanaugh, Bush has been continually supportive of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, and praising her strength throughout the trials. Sophia tweeted "To everyone saying "why did they wait? The timing feels suspect," etc. Just remember Bill Cosby. No one wanted to believe it about him. It was true. And he's going to prison. I'd wager more women victimized by Kavanaugh will come forward. Women feel safety in numbers #TimesUp".

Nylander has been stuck in a standstill contract dispute with the Toronto Maple Leafs since his three year rookie contract expired over the 2018 summer. The leafs are trying to get Nylander to agree to the lowest contract possible in order to keep him along with his his teammates Matthews and Marner, as their rookie contracts are approaching their end as well. However, it appears the Leafs cannot afford to meet Nylander’s salary demands as he has been absent for training camp and missed currently 22 games (including preseason). It is estimated that Nylander loses $32,000 each day that passes starting Oct. 3,2018. The teams head coach, Mike Babcock and manager Kyle Dubas, have both mentioned they do not plan on trading Nylander, they want to work it out. Nylander has also commented that he hopes for a long term deal as playing in Toronto is his goal.
