A senior Manitoba justice official promised Ray Zanidean immunity from prosecution for a Saskatchewan arson and a new identity in British Columbia in December of 1990 -- six months before Zanidean was the key witness at James Driskell's murder trial, Zanidean's lawyer David Kovnats said yesterday. It was nothing like what Mr. [Bruce Miller] had told us. The RCMP were saying, 'It's our program, it's our way or the highway,'" Kovnats told the inquiry. Winnipeg Police Association lawyer Richard Wolson served the inquiry notice prior to Kovnats' testimony that he objected to the witness, on tºßhe basis that much of what Kovnats has to say about Zanidean would be hearsay of what Zanidean told Kovnats.

Do you think in the early days of the investigation of ([Perry Dean Harder]'s) murder the Winnipeg Police Service jumped the gun and gave ([Ray Zanidean]) immunity from prosecution?" [James Driskell]'s lawyer, James Lockyer, asked [Ross Burton] yesterday. Zanidean became a prime witness for the prosecution in Driskell's murder case, and neither the jury nor Driskell's lawyer -- who might have used the information to discredit Zanidean's testimony -- were told about any immunity offers. "(Sgt. [Tom Anderson]) has two interests," Burton wrote. "His first interest was to convict (Driskell) of the murder. His other interest is to prevent the RCMP from charging Zanidean for the arson in Swift Current as this would hinder the prosecution of Driskell and at this time would result in a success...

Mr. [George Dangerfield] was among a number of people -- police officers and prosecution officials -- who knew of, or were involved in a deal with Ray Zanidean, chief witness against Mr. [James Driskell], in exchange for his damning testimony. He is just the latest to appear before the inquiry into Mr. Driskell's wrongful conviction and to be exposed for his role. At the 1991 trial, Mr. Zanidean told defence lawyer Greg Brodsky there was no deal, although he was negotiating a deal for money and immunity from prosecution on a Saskatchewan arson he committed. Mr. Dangerfield was an experienced prosecutor, described as a careful professional. He knew a possible perjury when he heard it, he heard the denial and said nothing of it. He has stayed quiet in the ensuing years, while numerous int...

[Alan MacInnes] called Kwon a "desperate" man who will attempt to flee back to Seoul upon release to reunite with his wife and the abducted child while also obtaining immunity from criminal prosecution. The child, a former student at St. John's-Ravenscourt, is now believed to be in Seoul with Kwon's wife. Efforts to get him back on American soil to his distraught mother and stepfather have failed.
Queen's Bench Justice Alan MacInnes said he believes Tae Seung Kwon is a "desperate" man who will attempt to flee back to Seoul upon release to reunite with his wife and the abducted child while also obtaining immunity from criminal prosecution. MacInnes said yesterday he would have released Kwon if the man made "genuine" efforts to have his grandson returned to the U.S. I don't want him to ask his wife to bring the child back. I want him to tell her to get on the first plane and have him back in 24 hours," said MacInnes.
Certainly one of the platforms of [Conrad Black]'s defence was going to attack [David Radler]'s credibility in terms of signing a sweetheart deal for his testimony," [Richard Powers] said. "It no longer is a sweetheart deal. This gives him instant credibility and really makes it much more difficult for the defence to (navigate) around his testimony. "If somebody's admitted criminal guilt, or they have an immunity from criminal prosecution, that's all the defence will need to cross-examine and impugn the witness's credibility," [Kirby Behre] said. "'He's saving his own hide,' they'll say."
There seems to be a real danger, if the applicant is released, of him fleeing the jurisdiction to return to his native South Korea to join his wife and grandchild," Appeal Court Justice Kerr Twaddle wrote in the decision released this week. [Alan MacInnes] called [Kwon] a "desperate" man who will attempt to flee back to Seoul upon release to reunite with his wife and the abducted child, while also obtaining immunity from criminal prosecution. The child, a former student at St. John's-Ravenscourt, is now believed to be in Seoul with Kwon's wife. Efforts to get him back on American soil to his distraught mother and stepfather have failed.
