Details from the inquiry Monday, May 30

AHEM. Unbeknownst to me, the Milgaard Inquiry resumed on Monday, May 30. Former police officers who were involved in the original investigation are now taking the stand. They will be asked all of the standard "Ws" - what they did years ago, why they did what they did, and who they interviewed.

According to CBC.ca, Rusty Chartier, an officer with the Saskatoon police, "surreptitiously recorded a conversation between Insp. Art Roberts and two of Milgaard's travelling companions, Ron Wilson and Nichol John." But, Chartier said that he doesn't remember anything "incriminating" being said at that interview.

"I can't recall much of anything that transpired and for some reason I don't think the machine wasn't working as good as it should have," he said. "I'm on the deaf side as it is," CBC reported.

Hmmm. Well, that's a convenient explanation! Sounds as though he heard Wilson and John pretty well when they implicated David in the murder.
