Court Rules a Man is Free to Sexually Assault Kids

The Alberta Court of Appeal [https://ca.news.yahoo.com/jamie-sarkonak-man-free-sexually-100030436.html] ruled that a deaf man named Kendall Longclaws cannot be tried for sex crimes against three minors, and upheld a 2025 lower court ruling. The man never learned to communicate. The courts decided it is a violation of his Charter rights to put him on trial, or even assess his mental fitness for trial. National Post writer and commentator Jamie Sarkonak joins Ben to unpack this legal and moral minefield. If you enjoyed the podcast, tell a friend!
