Messy Business with Romanow

On Tuesday, the inquiry talked about the Milgaard's allegation that former Premier of Saskatchewan, Roy Romanow, was involved in a coverup in their case. Joyce Milgaard made this accusation after the Supreme Court of Canada left David in a state of legal limbo by quashing his conviction and ordering a new trial, but not declaring him to be innocent.

At that point, Michael Breckenridge came into the picture. According to the CBC, he got in touch with the Milgaard lawyers and told them that he had seen Romanow with senior prosecutors in 1971, "where a decision was made to cover up information about serial rapist Larry Fisher."

Joyce Milgaard, understandably concerned about this information, went public with her allegations against Romanow. What she didn't know was that Breckenridge did not even work for the Justice Department at the time that he claimed to see the meeting with the premier and prosecutors.
