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.

"The committee cannot confirm the terms or accuracy of his defence of having 'left' the documents behind. If he did not voluntarily allow another person to have possession of an official document, how can former minister Bernier be accused of violating the act?"
