Show Notes
On Friday, a jury in Battleford, Saskatchewan found Gerald Stanley not guilty of the death of Colten Boushie, who was shot and killed on a farm in 2016.
Continuing with the case of the federal justice minister publicly commenting on the outcome of the Boushie trial, could there potentially be ramifications of politicians making public statements about verdicts in jury trials?
