## Resource

Calgary bank robber Navado Roy Wood lost his appeal after the Alberta Court of Appeal ruled his two brief courtroom ejections — totaling just minutes — didn’t prejudice his trial or violate his right to be present. Despite being asked to leave during key moments involving his lawyer and cross-examination, the judges found no impact on fairness or outcome, upholding his 2020 conviction and four-year sentence. The case underscores how courts weigh minor procedural hiccups against actual trial integrity — even during pandemic-era bank heists.
