A mistrial has been declared in a case where Justin James Rosdobutko was charged with two counts of manslaughter. Steven Yablonski and Robert Clark died of smoke inhalation at the Aquarius Men’s Bath in Winnipeg in 2009.
Prosecutors allege that James Rosdobutko deliberately set fires in two rooms at the bathhouse. This is not a hate crime, as prosecutors believe he was not targeting anyone specific.
