After the not-guilty verdict in the Gerald Stanley murder case, a national debate has ensued over the shooting death of 22-year-old Colten Boushie on the Stanley farm in August 2016.
Marches were held and political meetings convened, claiming the jury verdict was “perverse.” It wasn’t — at least if the trial evidence meant anything.
The rule of law and our Constitution guarantee accused people the right to a fair trial. Guilt or innocence is not decided by the victim’s family, the onlookers or the activists.
