I handled many tragic and strange cases over the course of two decades, but one stands out. Early in my career, I represented a young Inuit man charged with firing a rifle at a parked car filled with innocent passengers. Several sober, reliable witnesses gave articulate, seemingly unembellished statements. They said they had seen the accused leave his house with a rifle, walk towards the vehicle, and open fire – shattering several windows and terrorising the people inside. Miraculously, no one was seriously injured.
