Letter from Campbell Still Provokes Pain

Joyce Milgaard became emotional during her testimony on Wednesday when she read aloud from a letter from Kim Campbell, former Justice Minister, telling her and her family that the department was turning down David's application for a review in 1991.

"I need to take a break," Milgaard said. "This is a letter I find very upsetting and I would really appreciate a break."

Must be hard for Joyce to have to relive this whole affair, week in and week out, as the inquiry goes on and on, much longer than anyone had anticipated.

The Leader Post also reported that after spending almost 12 years investigating on their own, the Milgaard family and lawyers only had six weeks to prepare their big case for the Supreme Court trial in 1992. Amazing!
