Justice Denied: the Wrongfully Convicted in Canada
Host: Jon Brooks
James Lockyer is a founding director of the Association in Defense of the Wrongly Convicted (AIDWYC), a Canada wide organization which advocates for the wrongly convicted. Called "a tireless defender of the underdog," Lockyer has been involved in exposing many wrongful convictions in Canada, including the cases of Steven Truscott, Guy Paul Morin, David Milgaard, Clayton Johnson, Peter Frumusa and Gregory Parsons.Linden MacIntyre joined the fifth estate as co-host for the
1990-91 season. He is one of Canada's most distinguished broadcast
journalists. MacIntyre, as part of the fifth estate's Truscott project for
eight years, conducted the interviews and wrote the script for the
breakthrough documentary in 2000 in which Truscott, for the first time,
revealed himself to a television audience to give a first hand account of his experience.
Jon Brooks
Award winning folk singer-songwriter, Jon Brooks considers 'the song' an
essential means toward greater humanity, justice, and community survival;
his inspiration is drawn from those living on the outskirts of approval. In
his words: "the mandate of all art is to improve the world by showing
it to us; to lift humanity by way of inspiring empathy, as ultimately, the
folk singer is simply trying to politicize love – to lobby for compassion
to be our principle representative in government office." The
title of his latest CD, Ours And The Shepherds, was taken from a
Dorothy Day quote: "Whose fault is it? Ours and the shepherds."
