Publisher rejects request to tell story of farmer who shot Colten Boushie
A publisher has rejected a request from a law firm that represents the Saskatchewan farmer acquitted in the fatal shooting of a young Indigenous man who now wants to tell “his side” of what happened.
Last month, a jury found Gerald Stanley not guilty of second-degree murder in the 2016 death of Colten Boushie.
Toronto-based publisher Between The Lines (BTL) says it received the request from Stanley’s legal team.
“Our press has rejected the request for a meeting and instead offered an expression of our solidarity with the Boushie family,” BTL said in a statement Thursday.
