$Appeals Court Rejects Marcia and Edward Dooleys Bid for New Trial The murderous parents from one of Canadas most horrific child abuse cases should not be granted a new trial, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled today. Marcia and Edward Tony Dooley were convicted in 2002 of second-degree murder in the death of seven-year-old Randal Dooley, whose broken, lifeless body was found in September 1998, 11 months after moving from Jamaica to live with his father and stepmother. Marcia, who was found to have delivered the fatal blow to Randal and most of his prior abuse, was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for 18 years. Her husband was sentenced to life without parole for at least 13 years. Both were appealing their convictions; Marcia was also appealing her sentence. All appeals were dismissed today. In their bid for a new trial, lawyers for the couple argued that in 2002, Justice Eugene Ewaschuk made several errors in his instructions to the jury. In his decision on behalf of the appeals court today, Justice David Doherty disagreed. The defence lawyers also presented new expert medical evidence, which was rejected. Doherty recalled the profoundly disturbing narrative that unfolded at the Dooley trial. Randal lived a nightmare of parental abuse for most of his short life in Canada. That nightmare only ended when Randal succumbed to his injuries, Doherty wrote. An autopsy found 13 definite rib fractures and four possible rib fractures. Randal had acute pneumonia, various damaged internal organs, brain injuries and overlapping scars and injuries along his 41-pound body. Before his death, Randal was scolded by Marcia for vomiting and failing to control his bladder as if it was his own fault. He was forced to wear diapers and was sometimes forced to eat his own vomit as punishment, Doherty recalled. When Randal died, almost every part of his body bore the marks of physical abuse, he wrote. Only his scalp, the palms of his hands and the bottoms of his feet showed no obvious signs of abuse.$
