As we wind down the program, longtime guests and friends join us. Tim Danson has been the lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families for 30+ years in their battle for whatever justice Canada's offender-friendly system deems acceptable.
Tim was also the lawyer of Jim and Anna Stephenson whose 12-year-old son Christopher was abducted from a Brampton, Ontario shopping mall by convicted child sexual psychopath Joseph Fredericks who would murder Christopher. During the inquest into Christopher's death, the federal government refused to fund Stephenson's legal expenses, suggesting federal government lawyers could properly represent Stephenson's concerns. After a program with Jim Stephenson, Christopher's father, and Tim Danson, the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Lewis demanded to be on our program to 'set us straight.' The next morning Lewis spent two painful (for him) hours in-studio. The following morning, the Minister of Justice called in to say the federal government had been wrong and that Ottawa would not pay the Stephenson family's legal costs. Tim Danson had not sent the Stephenson's one invoice.
