Unravelling the web of contradictions behind the so-called "Starlight Tours" : are police really dropping off Native people in isolated places to freeze to death?
Former Saskatoon Senior Constables Dan Hatchen and Ken Munson speak out for the first time about what actually occurred when they dropped Darrell Night off -- in the ride that rocked their lives.
Darrell Night arrived home safely. But the tragic coincidence of two Native men later found frozen to death in the city's west end sparked activist and media outrage, and the officers were publicly condemned before anyone bothered to listen to their side of the story. Even the justice system seemed to bow to activists' pressure. The officers were sent to jail where their murder may have been plotted.
Now, at last, learn the other side of the story: the attack on the officers vehicle, the tape recording never heard by the jury, polygraph tests regarding Munson and Hatchen's possible involvement in the Wegner or Naistus death, and crucial evidence the RCMP missed.
The law is charged with respecting "reasonable doubt." But When Police Become Prey, will the justice system overlook this principle? Will activists win out?
