The other members of his defence team on retrial include Alan Gold of Toronto, and James McConnell of Saint John, who were both involved in the first trial. In April, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed Forcillo's appeal and opted to uphold his six-year prison sentence. 'Tremendous amount of work'Lead defence lawyer Alan Gold said he's very familiar with Michael Lacy's abilities and is grateful he was available to join the defence team for the retrial. Miller also "remains a valuable asset" to the defence team and will be available to consult on the case on an "as-needed basis," said Gold. "So there's dozens and dozens and dozens of things that Dennis' lawyers have to prepare for court and for the jury."
