We've just sent out CDs to radio, and we're hoping that rock radio will pick up 'Black Day in July'. We'd really love it if you please ask your local rock station to add it as well...

thanks

Milgaard finally gets inquiry

Betty Ann Adam

The StarPhoenix


(David) Milgaard

ADVERTISEMENT


The Saskatchewan government will begin immediately with a full public inquiry into the wrongful conviction of David Milgaard, who spent 23 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit -- the 1969 rape and murder of 20-year-old nursing assistant Gail Miller.

Justice Minister Eric Cline announced Tuesday the government has already put the wheels in motion to choose a judge or retired judge to act as commissioner of the inquiry, which could begin hearing testimony five or six months after the appointment.

"A judicial inquiry should proceed as expeditiously as possible, that is, as soon as logistically possible," Cline said.

On Monday the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed an appeal by Larry Fisher, the man who was convicted in November 1999 of the same crime. He was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 10 years.

While the decision opened the way for the long-awaited inquiry, that process will be suspended if Fisher is granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, Cline said.

The Saskatchewan government is getting started on the inquiry because the Appeal Court decision was unanimous, making it unlikely the Supreme Court will hear the case, he said.

Fisher has 60 days in which to file an appeal. If he does, the Crown has 30 days to file a response for the High Court's consideration.

The inquiry will look into the police investigation into the January 1969 murder and the prosecution and conviction of David Milgaard, then a 16-year-old travelling through the city with friends.

The inquiry will also examine actions of the Saskatoon police after information about Larry Fisher's other rapes came to light.

While the terms of reference have not been finalized, "it would be broader in scope rather than narrower," to answer outstanding questions about the case, Cline said.

Naming the commissioner and establishing the terms of reference should be complete within weeks, Cline said.

Fisher's 1999 trial heard that he had raped two other women within a 12-block area and within a year and a half of the Miller murder. Fisher also pleaded guilty to a rape in Winnipeg, which bore striking similarities in method to the Saskatoon rapes and the Miller rape and murder.

That "similar fact" information was a large part of the case against Fisher but was not considered by a court until 1992 when the Supreme Court recommended a new trial for Milgaard.

The charges were stayed and in 1997, DNA evidence cleared Milgaard. He was later awarded $10 million, the largest criminal compensation ever paid in Canada.

The DNA, which matched Fisher's, was also used in the Crown's case against Fisher.

Word of the inquiry was received with joy by the Milgaard family.

"I'm just delighted. We're really happy," said David Milgaard's mother, Joyce Milgaard.

"Our reaction is good, basically. I'm glad for the Millers that they're not going to have to wait and wait and wait. This should be finalized as soon as possible," she said.

Milgaard repeated her wish that if the inquiry reveals any wrongdoing on the part of police or justice officials, that they be brought to justice.

"There should be some accountability," Milgaard said.

Cline said the provincial government cannot override the charter of rights, which protects people who must testify at an inquiry from being charged based on their testimony there.

Milgaard said she will seek standing at the inquiry.

"I'm very, very happy to hear about it and I'll be out there to see that they do it right," she said.

The Saskatoon police want the Milgaard family to get answers for their questions, said spokesperson Insp. Lorne Constantinoff.

"I'm sure there are a lot of unanswered questions for the Milgaard family. That is the most important thing, that they have complete closure in this," he said.

"The police department always errs on the side of justice and what is right. If there have been discrepancies or false accusations or if the justice system has been at fault in any way, then the police department is interested in making it right," he said.

Most of the officers who were involved in the Milgaard investigation have retired and there have since been many changes in the way the police service operates, he said.

Changes include the use of DNA evidence, computer programs to help manage investigations, thereby preventing police from missing any angles of a case, improved officer training in interrogation and investigation, greater accountability of investigators to their supervisors and different rules of evidence to be presented in court, Constantinoff said.

"All of these things have a much greater impact on the way we do investigations," Constantinoff said.

Elwin Hermanson, leader of the Saskatchewan Party, approves of the inquiry.

"We've been concerned for quite some time that there seem to be problems with Saskatchewan's justice system. There's been a break down, either procedural or handling of a number of cases," he said.

The Sask. Party would not object to the inquiry if it should form government after the next provincial election, Hermanson said.

It might even call another inquiry into the justice system because there have been so many problematic cases in recent years, he said.

"There were procedural problems with the Latimer case, the Martensville affair, this Klassen family, I guess, is the most recent issue to hit the news. . . . As part of our overall review of government, we'd certainly think the justice system should be part of that," Hermanson said. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[Image: fireball_burnett.jpg]

Explanation: Jon Burnett, a teenager from South Wales, UK, was photographing some friends skateboarding last week when the sky did something very strange. By diverting his camera, he was able to document this rare sky event and capture one of the more spectacular sky images yet recorded. Roughly one minute later, he took another picture of the dispersing trial. What is it? Experts disagree. The first guess was a sofa-sized rock that exploded as a daytime fireball, but perhaps a better hypthesis is an unusual airplane contrail reflecting the setting Sun. Bright fireballs occur over someplace on Earth nearly every day. A separate bolide, likely even more dramatic, struck India only a few days ago.

so, i decided to burn off the definative bootleg for each album/tour and would like some input (i've got a few ideas - hengelo, high sierras, wetlands).... i think the discussion will be good for everyone during this hip lull, amen.

factors to consider 1) quality 2) rants, jams 3) crowd banter 4) performances of song for first time / rarely played 5) and MOST importantly any exposition, inside info, special stories behind the show.

and..... GO !

your friend,
cappuccino bandit

p.s. i would be flattered if anyone could contribute/point in the direction of artwork (it would mean more than making my own cover in photoshop or whatever)

Hey all...
I was browsing on Kazaa the other day for possible hip songs that I don't have on my computer (I wouldn't dare bring my CD collection to school...eeep!) and there was one labeled "Gordie Land". I know its not a Hip song...or at least isn't prefomed by them b/c Gord only sings a verse or two...has anyone else stumbled across this track?
