Canadian court orders Bitcoin wallet returned in Sandeson murder case

A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has ruled that a laptop containing a Bitcoin wallet seized during a murder investigation must be given back to the family of William Sandeson, who is serving a life sentence for the 2015 killing of Taylor Samson. The court determined that the Crown did not provide sufficient evidence tying the cryptocurrency to criminal activity related to the murder case. Justice John Bodurtha concluded that prosecutors failed to establish a connection between the Bitcoin and any proceeds of crime. The wallet had been at the center of a legal dispute, with an estimated value ranging from C$8,000 to more than C$200,000.
