Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball has been granted an interim injunction prohibiting CBC News from publishing a story about documents entered as an exhibit at the Brandon Phillips first-degree murder trial. "In October 2015, Dwight Ball, as a private citizen, provided information of his own accord to the police regarding a homicide," O'Flaherty said. That surveillance took police to the Tiffany, a building on Tiffany Lane in St. John's where Dwight Ball has an apartment, in October 2015. At the time, Dwight Ball was not premier, but was just weeks away from the election that swept him into the province's top political job. Phillips's first-degree murder trial began four weeks ago.
