Description

The book will be released June 10th, and Paul is already taking interview requests.The World Junior hockey players trial featured Las Vegas Golden Knights forward, Brett Howden testifying by video. He was called by the Crown prosecutor, who then made an application to the judge to be permitted to cross-examine Howden on his alleged memory lapses. Adam explains why this is another bad sign for the Crown case.Two drug related homicides in Calgary made the news this week when they reached their sentencing stage. One involved an indigenous offender, and he received an 8 year sentence for a killing that appeared worse than that committed by a non-indigenous offender who received 11 years. What might this mean for the repute of the justice system.The Kelowna RCMP detachment is the largest in Canada (after Surrey, BC adopted a municipal police force), and now the city has commissioned a review of their policing structure.
