After her husband was killed by a teenage boy he was caring for back in 2017, Cora Laich is suing the Lac La Ronge Indian Band Child and Family Services Agency, saying that the death of her husband Simon Grant may have been prevented if the agency had provided the boy with more support. Grant, who was providing a home and food for the then-17-year-old boy, was beaten to death in his La Ronge BBQ restaurant by the boy and two others. All three have been convicted of manslaughter. Laich said before the killing, she and Grant were meeting with the agency regularly trying to get the boy proper housing, but nothing was accomplished. She says the agency could have done a lot more, which may have prevented her husband's homicide. Laich joins Gormely now to discuss the lawsuit.
