EDMONTON -- The owner of a website that posted a grisly video at the centre of the Luka Magnotta murder case has been granted bail.
Mark Marek, who operates bestgore.com, faces one count of corrupting morals.
He appeared in an Edmonton courtroom this morning where a judge granted him $7,500 cash bail.
The Crown had opposed Marek's release, saying he poses a flight risk, but court heard that police have already seized his passport.
Police allege Magnotta sent Marek the video last year and Marek posted it online while knowing that it depicted a real killing.
Magnotta is to stand trial next year for the murder and dismemberment of Chinese university student Jun Lin in Montreal.
