A Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Ian Bruce Josephson gained national attention overseeing the trial of two persons accused of bombing Air India Flight 182, the largest mass-murder in Canadian history. In 2012, Ripudaman Singh Malik, a former suspect in the Air India case who was found not guilty by Judge Josephson, wants the B.C. government to pay for $9.2 million that he had to spend to defend himself in the Air India terrorism case. Judge Josephson presided over the case of the 1995 Gustafsen Lake Standoff. Calls for a public inquiry were made in response to his sentencing.
