|ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - For the first time in years, David Bagby and his wife Kate are decorating their home for Christmas. Since the murders of their son and grandchild, the California couple hasn't bothered decking the halls.

"With Andrew gone and then Zachary gone, we didn't give a damn about putting up a Christmas tree or lights outside or any of that stuff," Bagby said from their home in Gilroy, about 30 kilometres south of San Jose.

This year is different. The couple's long fight for legal changes in Canada ended Wednesday with a new law. It changes the Criminal Code, allowing courts to refuse bail for suspects accused of serious crimes when a child under the age of 18 may be in danger.
