Let the TV cameras into Canada’s trial courtrooms
KAMLOOPS— The not-guilty verdict in Saskatchewan’s Gerald Stanley trial has sparked a lot of outrage, resulting in rallies in several cities over the weekend in support of the family of Colten Boushie.
The 22-year-old Cree was shot and killed on Stanley’s farm in August of 2016.
The moral indignation is based at least in part on a belief that there must be changes in the way juries are selected. Provincial and federal politicians have weighed in, too, fighting over whether they should even be discussing it in public.
