When an apology doesn’t cut it… A former crown attorney in NL says Justice Minister John Hogan needs to be better informed about the realities of the criminal justice system
On Thursday's show, NL Justice Minister John Hogan said he’s sorry for comments he made last month, regarding how survivors of sexual assault are treated in the criminal justice system. At the time, he said it was “impossible” for lawyers to re-traumatize sexual assault survivors in the court system. Hogan walked that statement back yesterday, saying in part that he was drawing on his own time spent in courtrooms as a lawyer.
Former Crown Attorney Mike Murray spent 25 years as a lawyer with the crown, before retiring last year.
