A Toronto man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of a former CBC producer who was shoved to the ground while walking in Toronto’s east end last year. Robert Robin Cropearedwolf, 45, entered the plea in a Toronto courtroom on Thursday in connection with the death of Douglas Michael Finlay, 73, on Jan. 24, 2023. "Michael will be remembered as an exceptional story-teller, documentary-maker and editor,” CBC spokesperson Chuck Thompson said in a statement after he died. Finlay, a former CBC radio producer, was walking in Toronto's east end when he was allegedly shoved to the ground and seriously injured on Jan 24, 2023. Police have previously said that Finlay and Cropearedwolf were not known to one another.
