General Appeal Podcast

Cindy Gladue "was a mother, a daughter, a friend and a member of her community. Her life mattered. She was valued."   So says the Supreme Court of Canada in its decision on the appeal of the acquittal of Bradley Barton. What guidance does the Court give us about ensuring that Gladue's life mattered and was valued? What does it tell us about the pervasiveness of myths and stereotypes in the criminal justice system? What guidance does it provide us about ensuring consent? And what is the fate of Bradley Barton?  On this episode of The General Appeal Podcast, we're revisiting the Barton case, beginning and ending with the life of Cindy Gladue.   - Our guest this episode is Caroline Jacobson @CareJacobson - Link to Barton decision: https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/17800/index.do?q=barton
