Adam Drake’s Murder Conviction Overturned

Adam Drake’s murder conviction in the 2016 killing of Tyler Keizer has been overturned after the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal ruled the original trial judge misjudged key evidence. Drake, now 35, was found guilty of first-degree murder in October 2024 and sentenced to life — but the appeal judges sided with his defense, saying the trial judge ignored crucial testimony from a Crown witness. While delays in the trial were cited by defense attorneys, the court deemed those justified. Keizer’s parents, devastated by the reversal after nearly a decade, say they’re determined to pursue justice again — even though they believe the crime was captured on video. The Crown now faces a critical decision: whether to retry Drake. Meanwhile, Drake is already serving a life sentence with no parole for 17 years after being convicted of second-degree murder in the 2022 death of rapper Pat Stay.
