Robert Latimer:
Justice Goes Awry — 1993
From: The Right to Die
$1.70
The Robert Latimer story was one of the most widely covered news stories in Canadian history. It is a story, unlike some of the previous ones, where the justice system found no way of mitigating the prescribed legal punishment for what was essentially an act of mercy.
