Cindy Ali, the Toronto mother who was acquitted in the 2011 death of her 16-year-old daughter Cynara after serving more than four years in prison, is suing Toronto police and the city for more than $10 million.
“Officers took little care to secure the scene in the hours following the event, and the forensic team neglected to take fingerprint or DNA samples from several surfaces that Cindy said the home invaders touched,” (Cindy’s) claim reads.
The claim stats that despite the investigation’s failure to produce “any incriminating evidence,” Ali was arrested on March 8, 2012 and charged with manslaughter. The charge was later upgraded to first-degree murder on Oct. 17, 2012.
The suit is seeking damages in the amount of $8 million from the Toronto Police Services Board and Frank Skubic, $2 million from the City of Toronto and Bujokas, and an additional $500,000 from all defendants.
So how did she die then? Are we just believing this random no reason murder by mysterious strangers? If you’re gonna say she’s innocent, then what happened to the daughter? Cause I honestly am not buying that story at all

The article made it sound like she was smothered with a pillow.
Right. Just seems like a wild story, escalating from b&e to murder like that. Was there ever any proof that suspects exist?
I think that’s part of the suit. She said that specific items were handled by the invaders, but that they were not checked for fingerprints.
Maybe the cops just saw the colour of mom’s skin and figured the case was solved with exactly zero evidence.
