Inquiry Resumes
The Milgaard Inquiry resumed today after a six-week break. David's lawyer, Hersh Wolch, informed the Commissioner that David would be willing to testify if certain arrangements were made to reduce the overall stress on Dave. One way that David could testify would be in print; questions could be posed to him and he could reply in writing. Hersh also reminded the hearing that over the decades, David has answered multiple questions and they are all on record and accessible.
CBC News said that the first witness who is scheduled to speak is British-born, freelance writer Peter Carlyle-Gordge. Peter has written for innumerable publications including the Winnipeg Free Press: he was also a producer for CBC radio in Winnipeg. As one of the first journalists to take Joyce's story seriously back in 1980, Peter and his wife were great supporters of the Milgaards over the years.
Apparently, there are still 29 witnesses on the list who may testify. Former Justice Minister, Kim Campbell, is not among them. It will be interesting to see if Campbell is called at the last minute. She certainly played a key role in delaying justice for Milgaard.
