Show Notes
After a reportedly all-white jury found Saskatchewan farmer Gerald Stanley not guilty of the 2016 shooting death of Colten Boushie from the Red Pheasant First Nation, there was outrage from members of First Nations communities across Canada.
Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould responded to the verdict on Twitter, saying the country “can and must do better'” to ensure justice for all Canadians.
Should politicians be publicly commenting on jury trials in this manner?
