User:Jarvis666/Royal Commission on the Donald Marshall, Jr., Prosecution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Royal Commission on the Donald Marshall, Jr., Prosecution was a Royal Commission appointed by the Nova Scotia Government in 1986 to inquire into the wrongful conviction of Donald Marshall Jr., a Mi'kmaq from Membertou First Nation. The Royal Commission was also appointed to make recommendations to help prevent other criminal justice system failures. The Commission's findings and 82 recommendations were based upon over 16,000 pages of transcript evidence given by over 100 witnesses, and was published in December 1989. [1] Although many of the Commission's recommendations have been adopted, not all of them have been yet. [2]
