R. V. Perka - Aftermath

Aftermath

Of all the men arrested in the Samarkanda case, only Jaime Marin was ever charged in the U.S. and that was in connection with another run by the Samarkanda. He was convicted in an unrelated case, but never in connection with these cases. Jaime deJesus Cordoba-Vargas was murdered by a girlfriend in Cali in 1982.

William Perka was arrested in the U.S. in April 1987 on an extradition warrant from Canada after his acquittal was overturned.

The Perka test was later elaborated on in cases such as R. v. Latimer.
