Conversations and Behind-the-scenes

1h 43m
The infamous couple (Ian Lake and Krystin Pellerin) appeal to the Supreme Court of Stratford (presided over by the Chief Justice of Canada, the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, joined by her Supreme Court of Canada colleagues Justices Andromache Karakatsanis and Russell Brown), contending that political ambitions have rendered them not criminally responsible for the murder of King Duncan. Expert witness Bob Rae will address the alleged deleterious effects of political ambition on the workings of the human mind - a novel defence! Famed lawyers Marlys Edwardh (who represented Kenneth Parks) and Donald Bayne (who represented Senator Mike Duffy) act as counsel.
