[wind sting] the balefordourtr. geld stanley's famy sits on onside, andthe ial ismy the crown vs. stanle colten's family and their lawyers have no standing or say in what happens inside. the crown prosecutors barely communicate with them. stanley's defence team includes scott spencer and several junior lawyers. a few days earlier, spencer issued a statement saying the trial is not a referendum on race. the word "racism" will never be mentioned throughout the proceedings. bill burge is the lead prosecutor. he begins by calling members of the rcmp. we learn that the search warrant was delayed, and that the vehicle where colten was killed

was left uncovered for over 24 hours. during this time, rain fell on the scene, washing away much of the evidence. observers find out the young people spend 18 hours in custody before giving their statements. stanley's lawyers question them at length about their actions prior to entering the stanley farm. some feel the witnesses are the ones on trial. we know that there's been-- been many issues raised in terms of,f steali, theft, racism, murder all of tse issue thatre playi on we need have th confince that t crown psecutors areg thatre playi on we neee properuestionsnce that t crown psecutors areg and ing theidue dilince wi all theitnesses that . that t i don'knowutors areg and ife've felthat tod. stanley'lawyers ke t case that ts was anccident, a hangre.
