How one woman's fight for justice empowered a city
Jane Doe was assaulted by a police officer. That's never an easy case to win, but she wasn't without allies. Even still, her case was lost. At least, at first. This is a story of what happens when you don't stop fighting for justice. When you end up at the Supreme Court, with an officer from a 300-year-old police force on the other side, and you don't waver. It's a story about how you change more than just the outcome of your own case... GUEST: Lindsay Jones, Atlantic Canada reporter, The Globe and Mail (Writing in The Walrus)
