He represented, among others, Guy Paul Morin.
In a statement, Ruby Shiller Enenajor DiGiuseppe said Ruby died Tuesday afternoon surrounded by his family.
The Toronto firm said it is mourning the loss of its leader and mentor, a “dedicated advocate for human rights, a champion of the underdog and a loving friend.”He represented, among others, Guy Paul Morin, who was wrongfully convicted in the killing of Christine Jessop before being exonerated in 1995.
He also represented former MP Svend Robinson, who was present in 1994 at the then-illegal medically assisted death of right-to-die advocate Sue Rodriguez. In the end, Robinson was not charged in the case. Robinson said in a tweet Wednesday that he is “heartbroken” by Ruby’s death, calling him a “dear friend” and a “giant in the legal profession, pillar of the progressive community, and a fine and decent man, a mensch.”Article content
