I did not run across this on my own. I ran across the lawyer's story on a gun forum. I had previously read the SCC comments about the case, and wondered how such a miscarriage of justice could happen. I take out of this that one should never forget that when one is only listening to one side of an extremely emotionally charged story one is unlikely to get the full story.
These posts all describe the same incident. Hard to believe they are all talking about the same incident. I offer it without any further comment.
