The 1949 murder of Anita Robert at the hands of Montreal Canadians hockey player Tony Demers.

"There was nothing heroic or tragic about Tony Demers. He didn't have a character flaw. He consistently abused his privilege. Over a period of years Tony Demers verbally and physically abused Anita Robert, and then he killed her. When you begin to chisel at what's past-preserved its bound to make some people uncomfortable."

The past has become much more unpredictable than the future.

"Not long after midnight on Saturday, November 25th, 1978 Marc Patenaude and his friend, Norman Desilets beat up a man in a restaurant in Montreal's East-End. Unknown to Patenaude and Desilets was that the man they left on the floor of Chez Larry was Detective-Sargent Normand Ostiguy of the Montreal police's anti-gang squad.

Arrest warrants were drawn-up. Desilets was brought in without incident. The arrest of Marc Patenaude went horribly wrong (or did it?). When police stormed his basement apartment, the first officer to breach the front door saw Patenaude pointing a gun in his direction. Shots were fired. In the confused melee that followed Marc Patenaude bled to death from a severed artery in his thigh, finally succumbing to his wounds in an ambulance, which took 90 minutes to get to his home in Pointe aux Trembles.

That is one version of this story. "

This week's podcast provides an extensive discussion of the role of the coroner in Quebec police investigations in the 1970s through 1986, including Roch Heroux, the coroner in the Patenaude inquiry.
