    6.2 - An Albertan History of Shitty Justice
    Apr 21 2023
    In the season finale of A Whole Life Later, Kylie tells you about the other stories she came across while researching Connie Oakes' story. Alberta has a scary history of greatly mitreating indigneous peoples within the justice system. These two stories are just drops in the barrel. Alberta needs to do better.

    To continue Connie Oakes' story, this week, Kylie and Rory discuss the other exoneree. Wendy Scott was the reason Connie was ever even looked at. Did Wendy actually have something to do with the murder though?

    6 - Connie Oakes
    Apr 7 2023
    Kylie and Rory are back to present the final story of the season to you! Come along to Medicine Alberta, as we take a look at the failures of their police service to properly investigate a murder. Connie Oakes had an alibi but somehow ended up the main suspect when implicated by the worst witness ever(!).

    Sometimes your gut is right, other times you may just have indigestion (you should probably get that checked out). This week, Rory takes us through the journey of a key investigator in Darlie's case, someone whose "expertise" should have been taken with a grain of salt.


    Were you looking for sources? Me too, blame Rory.
