The Montreal police put a man in jail for nearly a week for an attack on a police officer he did not do, but the chief of police insists they did everything right.
We want to act in complete transparency, the chief says, but we can't tell you what happened.
I am willing to personally apologize to the man wrongfully arrested, the chief says, but at the appropriate time and moment. Not now.
I suppose we can all be thankful the poor man didn't spend 23 years in prison before the mistake was recognized.
A most rattling aspect of covering the Milgaard case was how the Saskatoon police and Saskatchewan prosecutors refused to recognize his innocence or the identity of the real suspect even after DNA results confirmed it all.
Between that, the Martensville debacle and Starlight Tours, you can imagine I don't listen to police quite the same way since. All that in six years.
