Restoring reputations to the defamed -- Telling the truth about the undefamable

November 8, 2003  
   
As we uncovered negligence and malice in Saskatoon's police station and prosecutor's office, similar bad investigations leading to wrongful convictions have turned up in other cities. Winnipeg is one. Monique Turenne's case had already been tried in the media before she contacted us.

Extradition Order comes down

TURENNE EXTRADITION COMES DOWN: Mar. 3, 2003 Monique Turenne's ex-inlaws and ex have been stirring things up in her fight to be tried in Canada so she can clear her name of murder charges in Florida. The Charles Adler show on CJOB, and which is syndicated across the country, raised her case and the old slanders on Friday. No one attempted to contact Turenne for her side of the story -- the truth -- which is on this site. Call CJOB and ask them to tell Monique's side of the story: 1-800-665-2202. In Winnipeg, 780-6868.

The lies continue to be carried. Monique Turenne never had an affair with Ralph Crompton. She did not send her husband out to get Midol in order to send him to a trap so Crompton could bludgeon him to death. Monique Turenne does not use Midol. These particular lies came from the desperate and imaginative mind of Ralph Crompton after he was already linked to the crime. It is possible that Crompton himself was not involved in the murder but was bullied into a confession.

It is also a lie that Monique Turenne and her lawyer Greg Brodsky are trying to stall justice. They want justice, not a fraudulant court. They simply want full disclosure from the U.S. authorities so they can properly present their case against the U.S. extradition order.

The request that Turenne be tried in Canada is eminently reasonable since both she and her murdered husband are Canadian. At trial in Canada Monique Turenne could bring forth evidence -- discovered after his death -- that he had underworld connections and that he was in debt to unsavoury people.

As a citizen of Canada Monique Turenne deserves to be tried in her own country where proper evidence can be brought forth. Another Winnipeger unjustly charged with murder, Thomas Sophonow has already paved the way to ensure that full disclosure is a part of any trial.

Susan English and Pat Turenne have told many lies to cover their greedy tracks as they hope to benefit from their brother's estate by putting Monique Turenne out of the picture. We will continue our coverage of this shameful story where the Winnipeg police, the Florida district attorneys and the media have cooperated with greedy relatives to destroy the reputation of an innocent woman and her children.

Extradition order signed for Canadian murder suspect

The Associated Press, March 3, 2003

A Canadian minister of justice has signed an extradition order for woman charged with murdering her husband, an officer in the Canadian Air Force stationed in Florida, seven years ago.

Monique Turenne, 46, returned to Winnipeg, Manitoba, before she was indicted with first-degree murder in the beating death of Canadian Air Force Maj. David Turenne on the lawn their Panama City home.

The 42-year-old victim was serving with a U.S.-Canadian air defense unit at nearby Tyndall Air Force Base.

Turenne has been fighting an extradition order approved by a Canadian judge in 1999. Bay County ruled out the death penalty so the Canadian government would consider extradition.

A minister of justice signed the order Tuesday, but the Manitoba court of appeals must also make a ruling. If the appeals court upholds the decision, Turenne can appeal to Canada's Supreme Court.

"I know the process, she's going to appeal and all that, but this is the beginning of the end," said David Turenne's sister, Suzanne English. "All we ever wanted was for her to stand trial."

Monique Turenne's lover, Ralph Edward Crompton, is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder for his role in the officer's death. Crompton, 47, said David Turenne was alive when he left and the victim's wife killed him. Crompton is appealing his conviction.
