Hey there, time traveller!

FRANK Ostrowski will find out Friday whether he’ll get out of prison for Christmas after 23 years behind bars.
His bail hearing is Friday at 9 a.m. in Court of Queen’s Bench, provincial justice officials said Wednesday morning.
The 60-year-old grandfather, convicted of a 1986 drug hit and sentenced to life behind bars, will find out if he’ll be granted bail while Ottawa weighs whether he’s a victim of a wrongful conviction.
Ostrowski has maintained his innocence since the day he was arrested in the murder of Robert Neiman.
The first piece of evidence had to do with a secret deal key witness Matthew Lovelace made with federal authorities to testify against Ostrowski in order to get a cocaine-trafficking charge against him withdrawn so he wouldn’t go to jail.
Lovelace testified at Ostrowski’s trial that the accused ordered two men to kill Nieman because Nieman told police about Ostrowski’s cocaine business.
