This week, I examine several cases involving juries, Jeremy MacKenzie's efforts to have his NS charges dismissed, the expanding scope of video testimony, and justice spending in the new federal budget.
First, on the 4th anniversary of the Portapique shootings, the NS Minister of Justice has resigned after his comments on domestic violence not being an 'epidemic'. I discuss those comments, as well as the lack of apparent effort on the Government's part to make the changes to domestic violence policy that the MCC recommended.
I also briefly discuss the first dog to be subject to a custody order (in BC), and a Saskatchewan father convicted of violating a custody order when he tried to keep his daughter from getting the Covid-19 vaccine.
