Episode Details

Manitoba’s justice system is facing intense scrutiny as four recent deaths — three in police shootings and one in a jail — trigger mandatory inquests. Young men Jordan Daniel Charlie, Delbert Sutherland, and older man John James Kushnir were all killed by officers in separate incidents, each involving violence and weapons, yet all cleared by Manitoba’s Independent Investigation Unit. Meanwhile, Collin Kempthorne died weeks after being beaten by inmates at Brandon Correctional Centre, with two inmates charged in his death and his family suing the province. These inquests, presided over by provincial court judges, aim to uncover systemic failures and prevent future tragedies — though no dates have been set yet.
