TRIALS & ERRORS. The People vs Brian Gordon Jack

Softcover. In 1989, former Winnipeg Blue Bomber Brian Jack stood accused of murdering his wife Christine. Leading the prosecution team, the author won a conviction against him, but after 3 trials, numerous appeals and 2 appearances before the Supreme Court of Canada, that court entered a judicial stay of proceedings. Brian Jack is a free man even though he was convicted of manslaughter at his 3rd trial. Now retired, the author reminds us that all the evidence pointed clearly to Brian Jack's guilt and takes some of Canada's senior jurists to task over what he believes was a colossal miscarriage of justice. What happpened to Christine Jack? One day, she vanished off the face of the earth. In this provocative account, prosecutor John Montgomery makes it plain what he thinks happened to Christine Jack. She was murdered, although her body was never found. In a stunning condemnation of Canada's justice system Montgomery points the finger at the judges who let Christine Jack down and he levels a direct challenge to the man he says is responsible for Christine Jack's disappearance. With 1 Illus. of Christine Jack, Appendix, Endnotes + Index. 194pp. 8vo. softcover. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate F.
