Members of the media and the public are advised that the following proceeding before the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal will be livestreamed on the Courts of Nova Scotia website on Wednesday, May 13, 2026:

CAC-539414 – Adam Joseph Drake v. His Majesty the King

Adam Joseph Drake was convicted of first-degree murder in October 2024 in the death of Tyler Keizer. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, with parole ineligibility set at 25 years. In appealing this conviction, Mr. Drake says the trial judge erred in dismissing his application for a stay based on unreasonable delay, failed to consider and assess exculpatory evidence led by the Crown, and failed to properly assess the evidence of the witness who testified to witnessing the shooting.

This appeal hearing is scheduled for one day, starting at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. It will be heard by a three-member panel comprised of Justice David P.S. Farrar, Justice Cindy A. Bourgeois, and Justice Anne S. Derrick.
