Summary:
"In August 2016
Colten
Boushie
, a twenty-two-year-old Cree man from Red Pheasant First Nation, was fatally shot on a Saskatchewan farm by white farmer
Gerald
Stanley
. In a trial that bitterly divided Canadians,
Stanley
was acquitted of both murder and manslaughter by a jury in Battleford with no visible
Indigenous
representation. In
Canadian
Justice
,
Indigenous
Injustice
Kent Roach critically reconstructs the
Gerald
Stanley
/Colten
Boushie
case
to examine how it may be a miscarriage of
justice
. Roach provides historical, legal, political, and sociological background to the
case
including misunderstandings over crime when Treaty 6 was negotiated, the 1885 hanging of eight
Indigenous
men at Fort Battleford, the role of the RCMP, prior litigation over
Indigenous
underrepresentation on juries and the racially charged debate about defence of property and rural crime. Drawing on both trial transcripts and research on miscarriages of
justice
, Roach looks at jury selection, the controversial "hang fire" defence, how the credibility and beliefs of
Indigenous
witnesses were challenged on the stand, and
Gerald
Stanley
's implicit appeals to self-defence and defence of property, as well as the decision not to appeal the acquittal. Concluding his study, Roach asks whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's controversial call to "do better" is possible, given similar cases since
Stanley
's, the difficulty of reforming the jury or the RCMP and the combination of
Indigenous
underrepresentation on juries and overrepresention among those victimized and accused of crimes. Informed and timely,
Canadian
Justice
,
Indigenous
Injustice
is a searing account of one
case
that provides valuable insight into criminal
justice
, racism and the treatment of
Indigenous
peoples in Canada."--From publisher.
