Facebook Live panel event to include reflection on Gerald Stanley trial three years ago
An online panel event on Facebook Live is planned on Tuesday starting at 5 p.m. to reflect on the Gerald Stanley trial of 2018.
The focus of the event will also look back on the award-winning documentary Nipawistamasowin: We Will Stand Up. Tasha Hubbard’s film takes a deeper look at the death of Colten Boushie, and the Canada judicial system.
Boushie, a 22-year-old from the Red Pheasant Cree Nation, was fatally shot on Gerald Stanley’s farmyard near Biggar in August 2016. Stanley, who faced a second-degree murder charge in Boushie’s death, was acquitted by a jury in Battleford’s Queen’s Bench Court Feb. 9, 2018.
The panel discussion marks the third anniversary of the acquittal.
